The Army Finally Fielded Its Drone-Killing Laser Weapon.

[RandomGuy]

The U.S. Army has just fielded its first laser weapon-equipped unit, possibly the first of its kind in the entire world. Based at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, the unit took possession of four laser-equipped Stryker infantry combat vehicles, each mounting a 50-kilowatt-class laser weapon system. The combination of Stryker and laser, which the Army calls DE M-SHORAD, can down both drones and artillery such as mortars and rockets in-flight.
