PARIS — MBDA UK won an order to supply the United Kingdom’s Royal Navy with the DragonFire drone-zapping laser in a £316 million ($414 million) deal, with the first of the direct-energy weapons for drone defense to be fitted on a navy destroyer by 2027. DragonFire successfully took down a high-speed drone in recent trials at the Hebrides testing range in Scotland, and will be the first high-power laser capability to enter service from a European nation, the MoD said in a Nov. 20 statement .
