➀ The British Army successfully employed Raytheon's High-Energy Laser Weapon System (HELWS) from an armored vehicle to destroy flying drones for the first time. ➁ The HELWS, mounted on a Wolfhound vehicle, completed a live-firing exercise at a military range in Wales. ➂ The system, developed in collaboration with the MOD's Defence Equipment & Support and Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, represents a significant advancement in defense technology.

1. UK scientists and engineers have successfully tested a high-powered laser weapon on a British Army vehicle. 2. The laser weapon, part of the MoD's Land Laser Directed Energy Weapon Demonstrator programme, neutralised targets over 1km away. 3. The technology aims to provide a low-cost, precise defense against aerial threats like drones, with further testing planned for later this year.
