Apollo laser turret EOSThe Apollo laser weapon is one of the latest systems to be developed with an eye toward the battlefield.
It's already been sold to an undisclosed NATO country and is designed to handle a wide variety of drones from Group 1 to Group 3.
According to EOS, the Apollo laser can engage 200 drones before it runs out of juice.
Being ITAR-free and fully controlled by EOS, Apollo is ready for partners to adopt, localize and sustain as their own."
