US’ next death ray laser could be deadlier on battleground, fry enemy drones faster
 
The U.S. Army is expected to soon get a new type of high-energy weapon that could potentially fry enemy drones.

HII, a Virginia-based defense firm, has been awarded a contract to develop an open architecture High-Energy Laser (HEL) weapon system, which will be capable of fixed-site defense and offer smooth integration into Army vehicles.
 
The weapon is likely to change future warfare and make enemy virtually blind by destroying their reconnaissance and combat drones mid-air.

Shipbuilder HII’s Mission Technologies will develop the system for the U.S. Army’s Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO).

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
