First?

Haha! No.

They've had these since at least 2003.

I know cause I saw them used in that Hulk movie.

Oh, a Hulk movie. We know that's all real.

In the article, it does indeed mention a previous version, so - you are correct.

As these systems become smaller, lighter and more effective, the time will come when every combat vehicle will be expected to have an anti-drone defense system built in as standard equipment.

What an excellent repurposing of a crowd control device. But will it work for drones flown by wire or by tiny little green men?

I'm calling the little green men hotline for answers. Will let you know.
