The Pentagon is building drones mounted with lasers that can destroy enemy missiles before they have left the launch pad.

The US Missile Defence Agency has requested $66 million (£48 million) in funding to continue the top-secret programme, with a plan to begin tests by 2020.

In January, the Pentagon launched a competition for the design of laser-powered drones inspired by bats and 

insects. Over the last decade, researchers have increasingly been working to mimic natural processes in robotic 

systems, like Caltech's BatBot (pictured)

Officials hope that innovative missile-intercepting technologies will help the US military to defend sites like Guam, Japan, and Hawaii from North Korean attacks.
