Laser weapon deployed on ship
The French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle has deployed a laser weapon system designed to destroy drones quickly and cost-effectively. Laser test results
During testing, the laser was able to disable a drone within ten seconds, demonstrating its potential for rapid response against aerial threats. Cost comparison
A single shot from the laser costs only a few euros, making it significantly more economical than traditional missile defense systems. Missile cost contrast
In comparison, launching an Aster missile, a standard anti-air defense system, can cost nearly a million euros per shot. Strategic advantage
The use of the laser weapon provides a tactical and financial advantage in defending against drone attacks, especially in scenarios where multiple threats may appear simultaneously.
