India’s next-generation 300-kW directed-energy weapon is being engineered to neutralize modern aerial threats at distances of up to 20 kilometers using concentrated laser energy. The system combines sophisticated thermal management and beam-generation technologies with a large-aperture beam control architecture to ensure accurate energy delivery over extended ranges. Designed as a high-speed response solution against drones and precision-guided threats, the DEW reflects India’s growing focus on indigenous advanced air defence technologies and future battlefield energy weapons.
