the American Corporation Boeing ready to help all those who are tired of annoying drones. The engineers at Microsoft have developed a portable laser system, which is capable of a few seconds to burn a hole in the drone while he maneuvers in the air. The unit is a compact copy of the laser, which is applied against the mortar shells.

Compact laser is deployed for a few minutes, and is controlled from a laptop with gamepad from Xbox. Designed laser is more for military and counter-intelligence purposes, but may find application and prisons. In recent times, they are too often subjected to "attack" drones. Boeing expects that the installation in the next few years will be widely disseminated and will seamlessly complement the missile defense system.

But laser technology in the fight against drones can encounter a number of difficulties: they lose effectiveness in conditions of poor visibility (fog, dust), and their battery is only enough for a few accurate shots, says Wired.
