SEOUL: South Korea said it will be investing US$74 million to develop a weapons system by 2023 that can detect and strike drones.

The country’s procurement agency said so on Tuesday after incidents of infiltration by North Korean spy drones.

The system, nicknamed Block-I, is designed to track and destroy small drones and other aircraft by locking invisible optical fiber razors on a target at close range, the Defence Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) said.
