Applied Energetics Inc. has announced a groundbreaking achievement in its Battle Lab, where it successfully neutralized four drone-mounted cameras in just four seconds using its early prototype Pulsed Laser Air Defense (PLAIDTM) system. This demonstration, conducted on August 20, 2025, marks the first multi-drone "camera kills" in the company's development program. The results, already presented, showcase the disruptive potential of their ultrashort pulse laser (USPL) systems for counter-UAS missions. The achievement validates the lab-scale breakthroughs and the USPL effects' ability to disrupt sensors rapidly and precisely. This milestone follows AE's recent technical progress, including surpassing a 1 billion watt peak power threshold, emphasizing the scalability and potential of their proprietary architecture in modern defense applications.
