US Navy wants to blast enemy drones with Humvee-mounted laser cannons

Mounting laser weapons on a Humvee to shoot down drones might seem like a military pipe dream, but the US Navy has now awarded contracts for just that. It figures that unfriendly armies will soon be equipped with inexpensive camera- or bomb-equipped UAVs and wants a highly portable way to counter them.

Hopefully soon we can get these more portable lasers at our state parks to protect against the UAV threat here at home.
