• Directed‑Energy Interdiction: Uses a focused beam of light (directed energy) to disable, blind, or thermally damage a small UAV’s sensors or airframe — intended for precise engagements.

  • Line‑of‑Sight & Precision: Requires clear line‑of‑sight and accurate tracking; typically used for short‑to‑medium ranges where pinpoint engagement is possible.

  • Rapid Engagement: Can neutralize a target quickly without kinetic projectiles, reducing collateral debris compared with explosives or bullets.

  • Platform Integration: Deployed on fixed sites, vehicles, or shipboard mounts and normally integrated with radar/RF/EO sensors and an operator control station.

  • High Safety & Compliance Burden: Because lasers can injure people, damage aircraft, and interfere with aviation, their use is tightly regulated; robust safety interlocks, exclusion zones, and legal authorization are mandatory.

  • Typical Users & Use Cases: Primarily military, defence contractors, and high‑security critical infrastructure with formal authorization and strict operational controls.
