I can see how this could be used, once they’ve refined it, to keep drones flying 24 x 7. Imagine a carrier group, with a swarm of microdrones, able to provide cover to the fleet. Now, the power for these drones can be provided wirelessly.

That would be a neat trick.

An aircraft carrier at see is a much more chaotic place than any room.

The ship in rough seas rising and falling with the ever-present saltwater mist in the air. Then there is fog, storms and long distances (the drones aren’t very useful if they are hovering a few hundred yards from the ship.)

I am sure that it can be done, but it is not going to be easy.
