His AI Laser Destroys Drone Swarms for Pennies | ROP #46

Michael LaFramboise's grandfather rose from sleeping in a Detroit bar booth to become Ford's chief chemist. Today, Michael is building the AI-powered laser that will make million-dollar missiles obsolete. In this episode, we explore how his system destroys drone swarms for pennies, why a $10M tank is now worthless against cheap drones, and how this new generation of directed energy weapons could soon protect everything from military bases to Super Bowl stadiums.
