“Rising Adoption of Laser-Based Anti-UAV Systems”
- Laser-based anti-UAV systems are gaining traction due to their precision and ability to neutralize drones without physical projectiles, minimizing collateral damage
- These systems offer rapid response times and are effective against small, agile drones, making them ideal for protecting critical infrastructure and military installations
- In regions with high security concerns, such as North America and the Middle East, laser systems are increasingly deployed for their scalability and cost-effectiveness over time
- Defense contractors, such as Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, are investing in laser technology to enhance counter-UAV capabilities for military applications
- For instance, the U.S. Department of Defense has integrated laser-based systems such as the High Energy Laser Weapon System (HELWS) for UAV defense
- Governments and security agencies are offering contracts to include laser-based anti-UAV systems in homeland security operations, boosting market demand
