Raytheon has handed an experimental new anti-drone weapon to US Air Force. The High Energy Laser Weapon Systems (HELWS) prototypes will now undergo year-long testing and training by the United States Air Force before getting it ready for live use on the battlefield. The HELWS gains its power from either a standard 220-volt outlet or a generator. The energy-efficient weapon can fire a nearly infinite number of shots.
