While the British Navy takes up to six years to build a single 8, 500-ton anti-missile destroyer like the Type 26, the United States Army has put the Aero Vironment's AMP-HEL laser system to a safety test at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. This system is capable of shooting down enemy drones for a few dollars per shot with a continuous 50-kilowatt beam, and the FAA approved the automatic shutdown after a commercial plane unexpectedly crossed the firing zone during the test conducted between March
6+ hour ago (913+ words) The AMP-HEL had already been operating in active protection mode at sensitive points along the U. S. -Mexico border since February, with the direct mission of downing suspicious drones linked to drug trafficking and smuggling networks. The FAA's formal approval now allows…...
