TRIPS T.R.L. Presents: "DragonFire DEW"

TRIPS: Through Reality is back with TRIPS: Through Reality Live (TRIPS TRL) with "DragonFire DEW," an up close and personal introduction to the U.K.'s $130 million dollar laser weapon that can hit a quarter from a half mile away for just $12.62!

DragonFire is a high-powered laser weapon developed by the UK to take down drones. It uses beam-combining technology to increase power density, reduce defeat times, and increase effective range. The weapon is designed to target drones from afar, costing less than $10 per shot. For example, firing the laser for 10 seconds costs the equivalent of using a heater for an hour.

DragonFire uses UK-pioneered beam-combining technology to deliver a laser beam with increased power density, reduced defeat times and increased effective range. This is achieved, in part, through the use of tens of glass fibres; however, the full technical approach remains classified.

The DragonFire laser weapon is expected to significantly reduce the reliance on expensive ammunition, offering a cost-effective solution for air defense. According to the UK government, firing the laser for just 10 seconds costs the equivalent of using a heater for an hour, typically less than £10 ($12.62) per shot. This cost efficiency makes it a promising option for military operations.

DragonFire uses tens of glass fibers and high-speed cameras coupled with advanced algorithms to provide continuous feedback. The mirrors are steered using a series of Fast Moving Mirrors (FMM), which rapidly adjust to ensure the beam stays focused on the target. The UK plans to deploy this technology within five to ten years.

DragonFire is a line-of-sight weapon that can engage with any visible target. It has the precision equivalent to hitting a coin from a kilometer (0.621 miles) away. To put that into perspective, imagine one of the Twin Towers, now imagine 5 of them stacked on top of one another, because the DragonFire can burn a hole in a quarter from that distance.

The DragonFire could help swing the economic calculus of offense and defense in the UK's favor, reducing the reliance on heavy machinery and expensive ammunition.

Still think it's a conspiracy?
