""Even though we often talk about the cost-effectiveness of the end product, a single shot, we have to understand that there's a whole path to reach that.""
""Size is one of the constraints. Eventually, it should become portable enough to be deployed both on the ground and in the air.""
Ukraine recently showcased its first laser weapon, Tryzub, developed in under two months, joining a select group of countries utilizing directed energy weapons (DEWs). Experts predict DEWs will transform military defense due to their cost-effectiveness, with the UK's DragonFire exemplifying this by neutralizing airborne threats for merely $13 per shot. However, the sector must address challenges like portability and durability of components, including optics, before achieving wide-scale adoption, as highlighted by the need for high Laser-Induced Damage Threshold (LIDT) in the development of these systems.
