The Laboratory of Defense Science and Technology of the British Ministry of Defense conducted the first test of powerful laser weapons of directed energy of large-distance (LDEW) at its landfills in Porton Dawn.
Tests included shooting by the UK Dragonfire demonstrator for a number of targets at different distances.
“These tests improve the UK understanding of how high -energy lasers and related technologies can work at a distance and amaze representative goals,” the British government said in a statement.
