BRAND new drone-killer technology designed and built in the UK will see a swarm of robo-planes blasted out of the sky for just 10p a shot.

"As we ramp up our defence spending in the coming years, our Defence Drone Strategy will ensure we are at the forefront of this warfighting evolution."- is being developed by a joint team from the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory and Defence Equipment & Support .Dstl Chief Executive, Paul Hollinshead said: "These game changing systems will deliver decisive operational advantage to the UK armed forces, saving lives and defeating deadly threats.

Matt Cork, the boss of Porton Down's directed energy weapons demonstration programme, said the radio weapon can destroy "a room full of computers or a telephone exchange".It does so by blasting an electro-magnetic pulse that overloads its target's electrics.A version of the radio weapon is to be mounted on a military truck and tested this summer, before the laser weapon is tested by the Royal Artillery in the autumn.

When I visited the Defence and Science and Technology Laboratory at Porton Down last month, I saw the cutting-edge weapons being developed.The Dragonfire laser is due to be fitted on Royal Navy ships in 2027, five years earlier than planned.
