Drdo conducted a test of laser energy weapons (DEW) on the national open -air range, Kurnol in Andhra Pradesh. The star war, similar to the system, was developed by the center of the high energy system and sciences (chess), Hyderabad.
Vehicle Drdo with laser energy weapons
India became the fourth country after the United States, China and Russia when it successfully passed laser energy weapons (DEW) on Sunday in Southern Andhra Pradesh. With the organization of Defense Research and Development (DRDO), which announced the successful test of MK-II (A) and “Mastering Technology of Snailing Missiles, drones and smaller shells”, joined the elite club. Drdo conducted an open -air national range, Kurnol, Andhra Pradesh, while the system was developed by its center of high energy systems and sciences (chess), Hyderabad.
What is the directed energy weapon?
Directed Energy Weapons (DEW) is a weapon designed to target enemies from afar. To damage the target, it uses highly professional energy without a solid projectile, such as lasers, microwave ovens, particles and sound rays. It can be a weapon aimed at staff, missiles, vehicles and optical devices.
How does Dew work?
Because the light remains no effect on gravity, the wind and the strength of the cariolis, the laser beam has an almost perfectly flat trajectory. As they travel at light speed and have a long range, it is most suitable for use in the space war. In addition, they have problems in terms of ammunition. It also makes laser weapons much more accurately; They are limited only by the diffraction and spread of the beam, and the power is a little divorced.
Why do India need dew?
The DRDO statement states that “after manifested by the radar or the built-in electro-optical (EO) system, laser Dew can draw targets at light speed and use an intense laser ray for a target.” This causes a structural malfunction. It also said: “The cost of firing for a few seconds is equivalent to a few liters of gasoline. Therefore, it can become a long -term and inexpensive alternative to defeat the goal.”
Defense analysts believe that as unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and drones as an asymmetrical threats, directed energy weapons with counter-and-counter-submarines can be counteracting to stop them. Drdo also said the race quickly replaced the traditional kinetic weapons and missile defense systems.
