This I old an old idea. The British Navy fitted a laser dazzler system on some of there ship in the late 1980's to warn off aircraft, was a secret system until spotted by a spanish newspaper. Also the trick of using light to dazzle pilotsgoes back to the 1942 in North Africa , was used by the British foces to guard the Suez Canal. How this system worked is still a secret but there is one picture that showed some of the device.
