The Royal Thai Army has officially introduced a new high-energy laser weapon aimed at strengthening the nation’s defense against drone threats. This cutting-edge system is designed specifically to neutralize unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that pose a growing risk to national security.
Categorized as a directed energy weapon (DEW), the laser emits a concentrated beam of energy capable of accurately targeting and disabling UAVs in real time. According to official reports, the system demonstrates remarkable precision, allowing it to strike fast-moving or low-flying drones with accuracy—even during nighttime operations.
This advanced capability offers the Thai military a tactical advantage in modern combat environments where drone incursions are becoming more frequent. The system is expected to play a key role in protecting strategic assets and responding to aerial threats proactively.
By neutralizing hostile UAVs mid-flight, the new laser weapon enhances the army’s ability to prevent potential attacks on Thai territory, reinforcing the country’s defense posture against unconventional aerial warfare.
