While the British Navy takes up to six years to build a single 8, 500-ton anti-missile destroyer like the Type 26, the United States Army has put the Aero Vironment's AMP-HEL laser system to a safety test at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. This system is capable of shooting down enemy drones for a few dollars per shot with a continuous 50-kilowatt beam, and the FAA approved the automatic shutdown after a commercial plane unexpectedly crossed the firing zone during the test conducted between March
