South Korea is beginning the mass production of a low-cost laser weapon that has successfully shot down small drones during testing, the country’s key arms agency said Thursday.
The laser weapon, called Block-I, “can precisely strike small unmanned aerial vehicles and multicopters at close range,” a news release from South Korea’s Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) said.
The release did not give a cost for the weapon, but said each shot fired would only cost about $1.50.
Imagery supplied by the agency appears to show a weapon around the size of a shipping container with a laser mounted on top and what appears to be a radar or tracking device mounted on one side of the platform.
I don’t think so? Radios don’t care is a laser is shining at them.
The tinfoil would stop it.
The tinfoil, not the laser
Oh okay, yeah you’d probably leave the top un-foiled for the radio
You could just stick the antenna through the foil. Antennas are just pieces of wire, which can also be made from shiny metal.
