ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The Air Force Research Laboratory at Kirtland has released a new video showing their latest drone technology. The technology’s called Tactical High-power Operational Responders or THOR.
Officials say they created THOR to disable the electronics in enemy drones quickly. Officials say it uses high-energy lasers to take down one target at a time or high-powered microwaves which can kill groups of drones at a time.
The Air Force says THOR is needed as enemy drones and other airborne threats become increasingly common.
