A new laser weapon from Israeli startup Esh-Tech is taking aim at one of the toughest challenges in modern air defense: drone swarms.

Called DroneLight, the system uses rapid-fire laser pulses to engage multiple aerial threats in quick succession, reportedly allowing it to neutralize more than 30 drones in a minute.

Such a capability could give militaries an alternative way to counter large-scale drone attacks that can overwhelm conventional air defenses.
