The British Royal Navy has taken a decisive step toward next-generation air defense with the latest live-fire test of the Dragonfire laser weapon system. Developed as part of the UK’s Directed Energy Weapons program, Dragonfire is designed to intercept drones, missiles, and other aerial threats with pinpoint precision and at a fraction of the cost of traditional munitions.
In this exclusive video, Defense Web TV captures the moment the laser system is activated in real-time trials, showcasing its ability to lock onto and neutralize moving targets. This marks a significant milestone in the UK’s efforts to modernize its naval combat capabilities and deploy energy-based weapons for frontline operations.
With global interest in directed energy weapons on the rise, Dragonfire positions the British Royal Navy at the forefront of this technological revolution. The system, developed by a consortium led by MBDA, Leonardo, QinetiQ, and the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), could enter operational service within the decade.
