South Korea is beginning the mass production of a low-cost laser weapon that has successfully shot down small drones during testing, the country’s key arms agency said Thursday.
The laser weapon, called Block-I, “can precisely strike small unmanned aerial vehicles and multicopters at close range,” a news release from South Korea’s Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) said.
The release did not give a cost for the weapon, but said each shot fired would only cost about $1.50.
Imagery supplied by the agency appears to show a weapon around the size of a shipping container with a laser mounted on top and what appears to be a radar or tracking device mounted on one side of the platform.
I don’t think so? Radios don’t care is a laser is shining at them.
The tinfoil, not the laser
You could just stick the antenna through the foil. Antennas are just pieces of wire, which can also be made from shiny metal.
Oh okay, yeah you’d probably leave the top un-foiled for the radio
The tinfoil would stop it.
