The British drone consulting firm Drone Major has formed a partnership with the defense photonics technology company olee.space, launching the first fiber laser anti-drone system. They have also obtained the exclusive operation and sales rights for this technology in the markets of the UK, the US, and the European Union. This system can intercept intruding drones within 3 seconds and over a maximum range of 6 kilometers. The cost of a single interception is less than 1 pound, it is compatible with various detection devices, has no collateral damage, and has passed multiple field tests. This technology will significantly enhance the UK's anti-drone capabilities, ensuring the security of key national infrastructures such as airports, energy facilities, military and police forces, and borders. At the same time, it will promote the manufacturing capabilities and supply chain development of related local industries in the UK, effectively responding to the low-cost drone swarm threats that t
