Drones

By Micah Halpern
 

I've Been Thinking:

Israel is a leader in drone and anti-drone production and defense. There are many Israeli companies in this segment of the market.

One company, Bluebird, just concluded a deal to provide 150 drones to a certain unnamed European country. Elbit, a much larger company in this niche, has sold over 1000 drones to an Asian country.

Israel needed to develop a defense system against drones coming from Gaza and Lebanon. And they have. They developed drones that can carry weapons and cameras. Some are tiny and some are huge.

Israel has also developed an anti-drone weapon that shoots drones down with lasers. The laser dissipates after several hundred meters so it will not damage anything beyond the target.

Before this new technology was developed the best way to strike a drone was with another drone.
