UK Ministry of Defense unveils groundbreaking laser and radio wave weapons

On December 23, the British military announced a successful test of shooting down enemy unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) using radio waves.

The British Army's Radio Frequency Directed Energy Weapon (RFDEW) can detect, track and attack a wide range of threats on land, in the air and at sea with the ability to disable targets up to a mile away.

Each shot of RFDEW costs only 10 cents, providing a cost-effective and complementary solution to traditional missile-based air defense systems. The high level of automation means the system only requires one person to operate and is installed on a military vehicle.

Earlier this year, the UK Ministry of Defence successfully conducted the first firing of a revolutionary high-power laser beam called DragonFire.

Laser directed energy weapons can attack targets at the speed of light and cut through them with powerful beams.

RFDEW uses high-frequency radio waves to disrupt or damage critical electronic components inside devices such as UAVs, causing them to become disabled or fall from the sky.

The system is being manufactured by a consortium led by Thales UK including subcontractors QinetiQ, Teledyne e2v and Horiba Mira.
