It might sound impossible but the UK will very soon have lasers that shoot down missiles & drones at the speed of light.

How? Because we’ve reformed military procurement to speed up projects that could’ve taken decades, to urgently get the new weapons we need to defend Britain.

The way we’re procuring DragonFire laser embodies key facets of our new Ministry of Defence 🇬🇧 acquisition approach: strong role for Dstl; rapid timeline; truly cutting edge; spirally developed; above all - sovereign.

Great science becoming reality - thanks to experts from Dstl, MBDA, QinetiQ Group and Leonardo in the UK 🇬🇧

As the industry lead for DragonFire we welcome the announcement to continue to develop and rapidly deliver our game-changing #laser weapon system to the Royal Navy.
