South Korea already began deploying the Laser Based Anti-Aircraft Weapon Block-I to frontline units and high buildings in the capital Seoul in December.

A twin-barreled 40mm intelligent unmanned air defense cannon is also planned to be deployed in frontline units.

However, it is said that the deployment process of this laser weapon in the metropolitan area may be slightly delayed.

Block-II is a mobile version that uses the chassis of the K239 MRLS, and Block-III is being developed as a Navy and Air Force version.

LAMD and LAMD-II are also expected to deploy along with the 'intelligent 40mm air defense system'

This is what Block I looks liek: a shipping container with a laser peeking out from it:



Block II is a hard shelter on a truck with laser:

Meanwhile in China...

BIG NOTE: The Chinese Military Industrial Complex can crank out prototypes fast and at a rapid clip; but whether they're actually accepted by the PLA(N) is another matter.

But it shows what they're thinking of "near term" for the next 5 years.

AVIC's displayed the Laser Arrow-11E multi-mode Electro-Optical Countermeasure System, the Laser Arrow-21A/B vehicle-mounted laser anti-UAV system & the Laser Arrow-24 unmanned intelligent laser guard system in Zhuhai Airshow 2024.



Laser Arrow-11E integrates 5 interference bands:visible light,near IR,mid-IR,long-wave IR&millimeter wave.Through laser interference, damage or decoy,it makes precision-guided weapons&UAV lose their sight&guidance. Suitable for fixed locations terminal defense&moving targets



Laser Arrow-21A/B vehicle-mounted laser anti-UAV system uses high-energy lasers to control UAV targets. It can detect day&night targets while moving. The radar detection, tracking & aiming range is >8km, & the killing distance is 5km.



Laser Arrow-24 A/B unmanned intelligent laser guard system can performe unmanned intelligent patrols in complex environments such as cities, detect & intercept low-altitude targets.
