Lasers on the Battlefield

The U.S. Army is looking at a purchase of her first laser mounted defense system. The High Energy Mobile Demonstrator is a Boeing creation and is designed to disable drones and other aircraft forcing them to crash. It has other applications as well, targeting slow moving ordinance, such as rockets etc. It being mobile is extremely helpful.

I can't get the video to embed, but check it out. Its worth watching!
