This is the stuff of bug nightmares. They’re flying along minding their business, trying to spread Zika or West Nile Disease to take down us higher mammals. Then ZAP—without warning, a laser blasts them out of the sky.
That’s one idea LeiShen Intelligent Systems—an otherwise reputable Chinese defense technology company—showed off at the recent 2016 MSPO Show.
More than just a proof of concept, they have honorable intentions in mind, wanting to install these in hospitals, schools and other places that would benefit greatly from fewer blood-sucking, disease-ridden pests. And while deadly to the skeeters, the lasers are safe to humans, so not to worry.
We’ll keep you posted as to if/when this badass robotic tank-mounted bug destroyer will be hitting the shelves at your local Brookstone.
