NATO and Israel are testing a laser weapon capable of shooting down drones at reduced costs, with systems such as Apollo and Iron Beam

The Australian company EOS has launched the Apollo laser system, capable of destroying 200 drones per minute, using a power of 150 kW. It operates at extremely low operating costs, of about one dollar per shot. In parallel, Israel has developed Iron Beam, a laser system designed to destroy missiles, which will complement existing defense systems. These technologies represent an effective response to emerging threats from armed drones.
