The defence system is a multi-layered drone detection and interdiction platform that combines radar surveillance, radio frequency (RF) monitoring, electro-optical tracking and laser-based destruction.

The first net-positive shot, for example, required 300 megajoules to power the laser system alone. But they are continued proof that controlled nuclear fusion is more than hypothetical.
