Boeing Co. has developed a 2-kilowatt portable laser that can burn a hole through a drone in midair.

In this video the laser, officially named Compact Laser Weapons System, takes out a drone at “tactical range.” The contraption only has four components, and it can be operated by only one person.

“Think of it like a welding torch being put on target, but from many of hundreds of meters away,” Boeing engineer Isaac Neal said in the video. “Once we turned the laser on, it was about 15 seconds until the drone was clearly disabled.”
