Researchers have developed a new device which will enable small drones to shoot powerful lasers – something once thought impossible.
A squad of fully armed soldiers follow closely behind a Humvee armoured vehicle, cautiously advancing through the ruins of an urban battlefield. The scenario he envisioned in the paper was once deemed impossible: generating a laser beam with a long kill distance typically requires bulky equipment the size of a truck.
