DDS to test airborne laser gun

The DDS, having recently introduced its first laser rifle the DAR-L1 ("Darli"), is keen to deploy the technology across other weapons and platforms too. A laser anti-aircraft gun is under development but the most interesting project is to fit one on an aircraft.

A F-10A owned by DDS Research has begun flight testing a laser gun derived from the Darli. At the moment operational deployment is some way off as the gun loses accuracy quickly at distance which isn't a problem for personal firepower but could be vital for air to air combat.
