Star Wars-like Israeli drone defense system downs multiple targets with high-powered laser beam
This footage shows an Israeli drone defense system shooting a series of moving targets out of the sky with a Star Wars-like laser beam. Manufacturers of the Drone Dome C-UAS hailed the system a '100 per cent success' after it brought down drones that were zig-zagging sharply during tests. The so-called Counter Unmanned Aircraft System can detect hostile drones from more than two miles away and fire a destructive laser beam'within seconds'. In this video published by defence manufacturer Rafael, three drones (circled) are flying in formation over the desert but are brought down by the Drone Dome's laser beam The footage published by Rafael, the defense manufacturer which is based in Haifa, showed drones falling out of the sky after they were intercepted by the Drone Dome. One target drone was hit and destroyed despite veering sharply from left to right as it flew over the desert.
