In Minsk, at the III International Exhibition "National Security. Belarus – 2026", a new counter-UAV system was presented – a directed energy laser system designed to defeat and suppress UAVs at a distance of up to 200 meters and disable their optoelectronic systems at a distance of up to 500 meters.
The device was demonstrated as a wearable complex powered by a battery pack located in a backpack.
The name of the product, its exact manufacturer, and detailed technical specifications were not disclosed at the time of the demonstration. The presented complex is positioned as a short-range interception tool, primarily aimed at combating reconnaissance and commercial drones.
According to the stated capabilities, the system is capable of affecting UAVs at short distances, as well as "blinding" surveillance cameras at an increased range, which effectively disables the devices without physical contact.
Against the backdrop of growing interest in anti-drone technologies, such solutions are becoming part of a global trend towards the development of directed energy countermeasures against small-class aerial threats.
