The UK has successfully fired a high-power laser weapon against an aerial target for the first time in a trial.
It is hoped that the test will pave the way for a low-cost alternative to missiles to shoot down targets like drones.
The DragonFire weapon is precise enough to hit a £1 coin from a kilometre away, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) says.
I too need this for hunting/home defense.
I just hate pound coins that are too far away
It can hit the coin, but it might not be able to hurt it. A missile is a lot more fragile than a coin.

Mosquitos will never know what hit em.
There is a Mosquito laser defense system already. I love watching the demo with classical music looped over it
