Declassified footage of UK DragonFire laser weapon in action

The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has declassified footage showcasing its DragonFire laser weapon.

This advanced technology emits a high-power beam at the speed of light, demonstrating remarkable precision by effectively targeting objects as small as a coin from a distance of one kilometer.

The recently revealed footage captures the laser cannon in action at a Hebrides site, a secluded archipelago off the Scottish coast.

The video features computer-generated imagery (CGI) illustrating the laser weapon’s capability to neutralize military drones—an application considered vital for DragonFire.

Developed by the UK Defence Science and Technology Laboratory in collaboration with industry partners like British aerospace firm Leonardo and defence specialists QinetiQ, the laser weapon presents a potentially cost-effective alternative to short-range missiles, which often exceed the expense of their designated targets.

This is particularly relevant in conflicts such as the ongoing Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, predominantly utilizing drone warfare, The Next Web reported.
