SPOTLIGHT: High-energy lasers and remote weapons stations: a solution to modern drone threats, with EOS' Dr Andreas Schwer
Manage episode 475766417 series 2300527
In this episode of the Defence Connect Spotlight podcast, Dr Andreas Schwer, managing director and chief executive of Electro Optic Systems, joins host Liam Garman to discuss modern counter drone systems including high-energy laser systems and remote weapons stations.
- The pair begin the podcast with the success of EOS’ Slinger weapons system, particularly in Ukraine, where it can connect with radar and automatically engage drone targets in seconds.
- Schwer then turns to high energy laser systems as a solution to drone swarms, as they can reduce the cost of an engagement to just $1 and automatically destroy up to 20 drones a minute.
- They then turn to the future of drone and counter-drone warfare, and how this rapidly evolving area is requiring a rethink to business as usual – including the need for kinetic capabilities to bolster electronic warfare as an increasing number of drones contain onboard computing and AI.
