summary
Claims a laser armor defeats a quadcopter at 1 km in under one second for under $0.01 per shot and already generates early revenue and government traction. System uses existing radars for coarse tracking, AO IR telescopes and cameras for fine aiming, AI co-pilot classification plus Nvidia-backed reinforcement‑learning simulations to sequence responses against swarms. Testing happens on a 70‑acre Finnish range and a US R&D hub in Orlando, with plans for North American manufacturing and prime contractor partnerships.
