South Korea is planning to deploy laser weapons systems to shoot down threatening drones from the neighbouring North.
The new laser weapons - dubbed the "StarWars Project" - are invisible and noise-free and would be operated solely by electricity. They would down incoming umanned aerial vehicles by melting them out of the sky, one official told AFP.
"When a laser weapon transfers heat to a drone, its surface melts. As the surface melts, the internal components catch fire, causing the drone to eventually fall," said Lee Sang-yoon, an official at the national Defence Acquisition Programme Administration (DAPA).
