Imagine taking out 200 drones without firing a single projectile, or even being plugged in. That’s exactly what Australia’s new Apollo Laser can do.Hey everyone, Wes O’Donnell here. In this video, I’m diving into one of the most exciting new defense systems on the planet: Australia’s 150-kilowatt Apollo high-energy laser from Electro Optic Systems (EOS).This thing is a monster. It’s mobile, modular, and powerful enough to burn drones out of the sky. Apollo is a real, combat-ready directed-energy weapon that’s already been sold to a NATO country. That’s a world first for a laser of this power class.We’ll explore:• How Apollo’s 150-kilowatt beam can neutralize enemy drones up to 3 kilometers away.• How it can blind optics from 15 km out, crippling enemy reconnaissance before they even know they’re spotted.• The insane mobility factor: Apollo fits inside a standard 20-foot container and can run completely off its own power, taking down 200 targets on battery alone.• Why Apollo being ITAR-free (no U.S. export restrictions) is a huge deal for allies who want advanced defense tech without waiting on Washington.• How Australia’s defense sector quietly became a global innovator, leapfrogging even the U.S. and Israel in practical laser deployment.Directed energy is here, and Australia just jumped to the front of the line.We’ll also talk about what this means for modern warfare, from Ukraine to the Pacific, and how the next generation of combat may be fought between AI-guided drones and laser defenses.If you’re into real military innovation, hit subscribe and join me for new videos every other day.
