It doesn’t “fry” the drones. It disables the electronics of the drone. I understand that there are relatively simple computers that run on the paths of fluid rather the paths of electrons. Could be developed as a guidance system for future drones. Why brag about something used in war?

I wonder if we’ll hand the technology over to China in the usual way, by using it in Ukraine. Hopefully not, as I HOPE that Trump’s people understand that military secrets are better when, well, they’re kept SECRET.

You can’t have any of your own arms in the same air space; they’ll get fried too.

ACTUAL lasers w/ enough intensity to destroy would be a better choice.

Wrap the electronics in ‘Faraday cage’ foils/fabrics that can protect from microwaves (few grams of weight). $MM weapon now near useless.

We had a physics Phd who lived in the dorm, Dave was his name. Sometimes we would have conversations about future tech, lasers, rail guns and such. His active mind had weapons ideas and also a countermeasure to every idea on the table. 50 years ago the idea of drones was around and countermeasures such as this were in the minds eye.
