The Laser Avenger is an infrared laser with power levels somewhere in the tens of kilowatts range mounted on a Humvee off-road vehicle. It is designed to take down the smaller variety of UAV, which are hardest for conventional air-defence weapons to target.<\/p>\n

The power of its laser has been doubled since 2007, when it was shown off destroying a stationary improvised bomb. Now it has tracked three small UAVs \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the exact model has not been given \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and shot one of them down. The laser tracks an object and holds fire until the target is close enough for it to cause burning with a single blast.<\/p>\n
