India, April 17 -- A UK-made, invisible radio wave weapon has knocked out drone swarms for the first time.
British soldiers have successfully tracked, targeted and defeated swarms of drones in the latest trial of a new directed energy weapon developed in the country, the UK Ministry of Defense said.
The trial was completed at a weapons range in West Wales and was the largest counter-drone swarm exercise the British Army have conducted so far.
The weapon system demonstrator is a type of Radiofrequency Directed Energy Weapon and has proven capable of neutralizing multiple targets simultaneously with near-instant effect.
The weapon has the potential to help protect against drone threats as nature of warfare changes.
