Ok, from the previous thread, it sounds like the sniper rifle on the
Predator
idea won't work. Too inaccurate from long range, and to dangerous to pull
the
Predator in range for a more accurate shot.

Also, someone mentioned that a laser might work due to its accuracy,
however,
blinding and maiming lasers are against the law.

I do not believe that it is, however, against the law to shoot lasers at
enemy
equipment (correct me if this is in error).

So, if we could develope a laser that could detonate an RPG warhead from a
distance, we might have a good solution.

If you've got that kind of power coming out of your laser you've
probably exceded "maiming" levels and can just take head shots.
Center of mass shots with lasers might not be a good idea: no
shock effect as a bullet dumps energy into the surrounding tissue
and woulds are self carterising. Does any body know of existing
studies showing the reaction of sournding flesh to the thermal shock?

If such a system could be developed and fielded on a UAV, and loiter
missions
could destroy 10-15 RPG launchers per mission, this might be a valuable
system.

I think you are asking for too target rich and enviroment.
