Overview

  • The SlimBeam laser turret, designed by Ukrainian firm Fulltime Robotics, was officially presented as a new counter-drone system on May 22, 2025.
  • The system can autonomously or remotely destroy drones, blind optical systems, neutralize explosives, and clear obstacles using a silent, invisible laser beam.
  • SlimBeam operates as a stationary system or can be mounted on wheeled robotic platforms, offering flexibility for frontline deployment.
  • It provides a tactical advantage by destroying small drones at up to 800 meters and blinding cameras at distances of up to two kilometers.
  • This innovation is part of Ukraine's broader strategy of integrating advanced robotics and directed energy weapons to counter evolving Russian drone tactics.
