The latest laser technology is represented in the Chinese laser system. That man-portable laser. That fits in a backpack is the tool that could shoot down drones. This means that the laser weapons. They are entering the battlefields. The man-portable laser. It is so small and compact. It can be installed on the roof of trucks, tanks, or jeeps. The AI-based camera system. It can search for drones. And aim that system. Into the drones. The system. It can be used with the same technology.
That is used in the laser-based mosquito hunting system. The laser-based mosquito trap killed eight mosquitoes in a second. A small-sized compact laser system that uses that technology can shoot down drones. The same system that eliminates pests. It can eliminate drones. If the user knows how to train that system to find drones. And its laser systems are more powerful.
The Israeli Trophy system is the rifle-calibre system. That shoots bullets against incoming anti-tank missiles. Those active protection systems are used in tanks and other vehicles. The laser-based version of that system. It can protect aircraft, tanks, and other targets. Against incoming missiles, rockets, and other ammunition. The high-power laser can also be used against enemy vehicles and troops.
The high-power laser. That is installed in the high-flying aircraft or drone. It can be used against hypersonic missiles. And satellites. The laser system. It must only cause a small amount of damage to the nose of a hypersonic missile. And that rips the missile or aircraft into pieces. The high-power laser systems are always dangerous. The laser system that drops drones can be installed in drones, helicopters, or even in strategic bombers. The high-precision lasers can also destroy things like incoming bombs and shells.

This system. It can destroy incoming missiles. And that kind of laser system. They can protect. The high-flying bombers against the anti-aircraft missiles. Those systems. They can be tools. That protects things. Like the jet fighters. B-52, B-1, B-2, and B-21 bombers, helicopters, ships, and other ground vehicles from incoming drones or missiles. The active denial system. Can increase the elder aircraft. And tanks' survivability on the battlefield.
When we think about things like orbital laser platforms. That purpose. It is to destroy intercontinental ballistic missiles. Those lasers. They will turn. Into very large and complicated things. The solution to that problem. It can be a modular system. There, the laser will be launched into orbit in pieces. Those bites are like satellites. And they can dock with each other, forming a chain. Those satellite chains. They can be kilometers long.
Another version is that. The rocket. It can launch mirrors into space. The mirror chain. It can aim ground-based high-energy laser beams precisely at the desired point. In those systems. The laser is on the ground. And it shoots its beams to spaceborne mirrors. Using the relay mirror. The relay mirror on the side, where the beam comes out from those ultra-powerful, kilometers-long lasers. They can aim those beams into the orbital mirrors. The smaller lasers can be mounted in the telescope towers. In those cases. The smaller lasers. They can act as groups.
The laser weapons are suitable for anti-aircraft systems. But their weakness is that they cannot fire things. Those are behind obstacles like houses or hills. The answer to that problem. It can be found from drones. The drone can carry the mirror. That aims a laser beam precisely at the wanted point. Those small mirror drones. They can aim laser beams over or around obstacles. But as we know. High-energy lasers can also be used to detonate explosives. When those high-energy laser beams hit things like drones. Those systems. They can pump. A lot of energy. Into targets. And if that energy detonates those drones. The detonation. It can be very powerful. And throw shrapnel around.
