What are laser-oriented energy weapons? How does Star Wars developed by DRDO threaten China and Pakistan?
DRDO held a trial of laser-guided energy weapons (DEW) in the Kurnool country of Andhra Pradesh. Similar systems in Star Wars were developed by the Hyderabad High Energy Systems and Science Center (chess).
DRDI vehicles with laser-guided energy weapons
India became the fourth country after the United States, China and Russia when it successfully tested the laser director’s energy weapons (DEW) in southern Andhra Pradesh on Sunday. India joins the Elite Club as the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) announced successful trials of MK-II (A) and “mastered the technology to disable missiles, drones and smaller projectiles.” DRDO was tested in the National Open Air Series in Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh, which was developed by the High Energy Systems and Science Centre (chess) in Hyderabad.
What is a directional energy weapon?
Directed – Energy Weapons (DEWs) are weapons designed to aim at enemies of distance. It uses highly focused energy without solid projectiles such as lasers, microwaves, particle beams and acoustic beams to damage the target. These may be weapons targeting personnel, missiles, vehicles and optical equipment.
How does dew work?
Since light is not affected by gravity, wind and Coriolis forces, the laser beam has an almost completely flat trajectory. It is best for use in space combat when they are traveling at light speeds and have long distances. Furthermore, they have problems with ammunition supply. This also makes laser-guided weapons more accurate. They are limited only by beam diffraction and diffusion, and their power is slightly diluted.
Why does India need dew?
“Once its built-in electromagnetic system (EO) system is detected by radar, the laser paint can engage the target at light speed and pass through the target using a strong laser beam,” DRDO said in a statement. It can lead to structural failures. It also said: “The cost of launching a few seconds is equivalent to the cost of a few liters of gasoline. Therefore, it has the potential to be a long-term and low-cost alternative to defeating the target.”
Defense analysts believe that as an unmanned driving system (UAS) and the emergence of drone swarms, as an asymmetric threat, directed energy weapons with anti-UA and inversion functions can prove to be countermeasures to stop them. DRDO also said dew will soon replace traditional dynamic weapons and missile defense systems.
