The US Army is developing an AI-powered laser system capable of identifying, distinguishing, and incinerating enemy drones within fractions of a second.
This advanced technology utilises high-speed computational processing, sophisticated algorithms, and a new generation of laser weaponry.
The Army’s Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO) is working to expedite the acquisition of the LOCUST laser weapon system. This anti-drone weapon is designed to swiftly identify threats and neutralise them using artificial intelligence.
This development means that the optimal solution or countermeasure can be identified and recommended to a human decision-maker within seconds.
