Malaysia's Birdie-X Develops Laser-Based Counter-UAS System, Potentially Saving Millions in Defence Costs
Malaysian drone defence company Birdie-X has developed a laser directed-energy weapon counter-UAS system in collaboration with the Royal Malaysian Air Force, the Science and Technology Research Institute for Defence (Stride), and Benua Defence Sdn Bhd. Designed for low-cost aerial defence, the domestically produced system can be maintained, repaired, and upgraded locally without reliance on foreign contractors, potentially saving Malaysia millions in defence expenditure.
