1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000 2 00:00:23,140 --> 00:00:25,196 drones are becoming a more pervasive 3 00:00:25,196 --> 00:00:29,150 threat every day . Mhm . The ease of 4 00:00:29,150 --> 00:00:30,983 customization that makes them so 5 00:00:30,983 --> 00:00:33,206 attractive to hobbyists also appeals to 6 00:00:33,206 --> 00:00:35,206 bad actors using them for nefarious 7 00:00:35,206 --> 00:00:38,720 means . Yeah . Unmanned aerial systems 8 00:00:38,730 --> 00:00:40,730 are currently being used to surveil 9 00:00:40,730 --> 00:00:43,100 operations destroy infrastructure and 10 00:00:43,100 --> 00:00:46,560 attack personality . Yeah . 11 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,540 Yeah . Technology always moving forward 12 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,664 ensures these vehicles will become 13 00:00:54,664 --> 00:00:56,950 faster , more advanced and more deadly . 14 00:00:59,620 --> 00:01:02,940 Small arms have limited range and 15 00:01:02,940 --> 00:01:05,162 effectiveness and larger arms have high 16 00:01:05,162 --> 00:01:06,940 cost compared to their target . 17 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,511 The Air Force Research Laboratory has 18 00:01:12,511 --> 00:01:14,990 developed a low cost per shot speed of 19 00:01:14,990 --> 00:01:15,990 light solution , 20 00:01:15,990 --> 00:01:19,990 thor uses 21 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,944 a focused beam of energy to defeat 22 00:01:21,944 --> 00:01:24,290 drones and a large target area . It 23 00:01:24,290 --> 00:01:26,210 provides a non kinetic defeat of 24 00:01:26,210 --> 00:01:28,488 multiple targets at the speed of light . 25 00:01:28,740 --> 00:01:30,962 This unique system allows based defense 26 00:01:30,962 --> 00:01:33,710 forces to stop us attacks at long range 27 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,387 before they threaten critical 28 00:01:35,387 --> 00:01:38,380 infrastructure thor completely stoves 29 00:01:38,380 --> 00:01:40,602 in a 20 ft shipping container which can 30 00:01:40,602 --> 00:01:44,030 easily be transported in a C 1 30 . The 31 00:01:44,030 --> 00:01:46,141 system can be set up by as few as two 32 00:01:46,141 --> 00:01:48,380 people within three hours and operates 33 00:01:48,380 --> 00:01:51,410 from ground power thor uses high power 34 00:01:51,410 --> 00:01:53,077 microwaves to cause a counter 35 00:01:53,077 --> 00:01:55,180 electronic effect . A target is 36 00:01:55,180 --> 00:01:56,902 identified . The silent weapon 37 00:01:56,902 --> 00:01:59,000 discharges in less than a second and 38 00:01:59,010 --> 00:02:01,570 the impact is instantaneous . The Air 39 00:02:01,570 --> 00:02:03,681 Force Research Laboratory has already 40 00:02:03,681 --> 00:02:05,903 demonstrated force effectiveness during 41 00:02:05,903 --> 00:02:07,959 real world tests , where it defeated 42 00:02:07,959 --> 00:02:09,626 hundreds of U . S . Systems . 43 00:02:11,740 --> 00:02:13,907 A federal developed this unique system 44 00:02:13,930 --> 00:02:16,041 allowing based defense forces to stop 45 00:02:16,041 --> 00:02:18,500 US attacks at long range before they 46 00:02:18,500 --> 00:02:20,333 threaten critical infrastructure 47 00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:23,480 silently waiting , always protecting 48 00:02:23,490 --> 00:02:25,480 quickly detecting effectively 49 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:26,960 destroying thor .
