This was reported by Ukrinform with reference to the German specialized online publication Soldat & Technik.
The new system was demonstrated on October 22 during the Defense TechDay defense technology event in Erding (Bavaria).
The armored vehicle was equipped with a GA 1000 laser system developed by the German startup Ground A. The system is capable of automatically detecting and tracking air targets, keeping the laser beam in a certain area of the drone until the desired effect is achieved.
According to the publication, the laser power is less than 10 kW. Its efficiency is ensured by the high concentration of the beam in an area about the size of a one euro coin and the accurate tracking of the moving target.
The system is primarily designed to combat small drones, in particular vehicles with propellers with a diameter of about 25 centimeters, which can reach speeds of up to 100 km/h.
