<p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has committed to accelerating DragonFire Laser Directed
Energy Weapons (DEW) into operational capability to meet real world threats. Thus
far, the DragonFire system has been tested against a range of targets, proving to
be highly effective. This has been further evidenced through Dstl's Operational Analysis,
confirming the technology's benefits against the threats faced by the Royal Navy in
the Red Sea. The MOD has also invested in understanding the risks of integrating systems
onto Royal Navy vessels and therefore has experience in the matter. To deliver at
greater pace, we will be using the principles of Minimum Deployable Capability and
spiral development, as set out in our new Integrated Procurement Model.</p>
