Behold the Laser Avenger, a cannon that could be used to take down incoming 
aircraft. Boeing was able to shoot a drone out of the sky with the 
hummer-mounted laser, even though it’s not particularly high-powered. It cooked

More recently, the company shot down another UAV using a low-power laser paired 
with its Mobile Active Targeting Resource for Integrated eXperiments, or 
Matrix, system during a test in White Sands, New Mexico.
Northrop Grumman is hard at work on a 100-kilowatt laser weapon, which could do 
far more damage, but it’s not quite ready for prime time. It’s fully

Boeing announced in late December that the Avenger has been used to destroy 50 
different improvised explosive devices, during tests at Redstone Aresenal in 
Huntsville, Alabama
