The U.S. Air Force said it tested High Energy Laser Weapon System 2 (HELWS2 or H2) counter-Unmanned Aerial System (c-UAS) directed energy weapon (DEW) last year.
“This experiment has many notable U.S. Air Force firsts, including the complete training of and operation of the system by Security Forces Airmen, the first directed energy c-UAS capability, and the first integration with a base,”said Lt. Col. Jared Rupp, DE CTF director.
“Additionally, these locations were selected as to significantly enhance c-UAS capability through the use of these DEWs, helping to prevent enemy airborne intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), and attacks.” ....
