Lasers can be used to detect range. And China has used what appears to be fishing vessels as part of its maritime surveillance program.The Canadian ship is equipped by multiple weapons systems designed to detect, track and shoot down drones.
The deployment, he said, would help "to support a free, open and inclusive Indo-Pacific where international rules prevail." Chinese fighter jets have also flown at great speed toward HMCS Ottawa, before turning away more than 32 kilometres from the ship.
