Or maybe not. Military has been doing laser drone stuff for 20 years. Also this thing shoots down artillery, good luck getting a quadcopter past it.

wow, didnt know about that. i still think its a hard problem, i mean artillery rounds dont fly a few feet off the ground and manuever, but if anything could defend against drones it'd be that.
