A significant breakthrough in defence technology has been achieved by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) as its 2KW Directed Energy Weapon (DEW) system has completed trials onboard Indian Naval warships. This development paves the way for the integration of even more powerful DEW systems into the Navy’s frontline warships.
The DRDO’s ultimate goal is to develop a 100KW DEW system capable of engaging and neutralizing a wide range of threats, from small-calibre mortars and rockets to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) of various sizes. This system will be equipped with pinpoint accuracy and can operate at ranges of hundreds of meters to several kilometers.
The 2KW DEW system has already demonstrated its effectiveness in neutralizing threats at a range of several kilometres. It offers several advantages over traditional weapon systems, including an unlimited magazine, almost zero cost per intercept, and very limited collateral damage.
The Navy’s plans to integrate the 100KW DEW system into its frontline warships will significantly enhance its capabilities and provide a decisive edge in future conflicts. This technology has the potential to revolutionize naval warfare by offering a rapid and effective means of neutralizing threats with minimal risk.
