Fiber-optic drone? No problem.

Bring us one to Ukraine to test. Otherwise the system is basically just a fancy video and a deck of slides.

I have bad news for you...

Badass. The arms race just got more serious.

The proliferation of fiber-optic guided UAS represents a major shift in drone warfare and exposes a growing operational gap for counter-UAS defenses — one that Leonidas is designed to address and close. Read more:

This is a size of a truck itself, unable to maneuver and range is in big question. Dead by concept.

Mmm 155mm arty shell looking at yo WEMI like yeah gimme that sophisticated piece of equipment i wanna turn it into rusty flower

Let me guess. 50kW generator, long recharge time. Range of 1-2 km. Quite useful in a safe zone but will burn out all friendly sensors and electronics. So not sure that it is really useful in a war.

300$ drone(s) would easily disable your 1000000$ equipment. Not worth it sorry.

Send it for real test to Ukraine :)

You think it's a good idea until your town looks like this

Let the Ukrainians test it on the battlefield best testcase ever

@K9DefenseTech let's talk about this next time we chat

Wen hand-held version

what will you do when there's an EMI hardened drone?

ya durun bi amina koyim mezun olalim aklimdaki tum fikirleri niye taymda goruyorum

So come to Ukraine and try in real war ;)

What's the best way to get one of my drones shot at by your system?

The intro video is a bad example. I doubt this is feasible to follow and protect a single tank. Maybe defending something static or a high value vehicle but surely not one per tank until they’re small enough to be mounted to the tank itself?

Look how many fiberoptic cables in Ukraine after used drones...

Can you guys go public or something

@fortziyon I’d like one of these for use on my neighbor’s loud stereo.

How about tens of thousands of fiber optic drones per month

Great, now show it work on a drone moving at 150 km/h chasing some random target instead of conveniently stationary hovering in front of your device.

Gorillion dollar defense contract loading

How much to move hqs and production to Europe?

Not going to work in the battlefield. That piece of machinery is going to be a wreak as fast as you can say uncle

send to Ukrainian Unmanned Systems for verification. They'll be the judge of that.

It looks a bit slow and easily identified. Can it handle 4 fiber drones approaching from 4 directions?

they way you use the world "relevant range" instead out the actual number is a proof that's the system isn't as reliable as the conventional laser

Get out of California.

The problem is not in creating this technology, but in rapidly scaling it up and creating thousands of such products.

Interesting, I am assuming the electromagnetic field interference would interrupt the electric motors of the craft. Photons in the laser optics would most likely be unaffected I like it can I borrow one for a drone show it’s going to be awesome 🤣
