This week Boeing held a media demonstration of its Compact Laser Weapons System in Albuquerque, N.M.
This is possible because all the energy in the laser beam is focussed in a very tiny spot.
Also, the tracking mechanism is precise enough to target specific parts of a drone.
In addition, the cost-per-shot is also extremely low.
Its something youve likely seen many times in science fiction movies, but its only now becoming a reality.
Several systems designed to target unmanned aerial vehicles or drones are currently under development by Boeing.
