India moves 30 kW laser anti-drone weapon toward production
Original: INDIA’S LASER SHIELD AGAINST DRONE SWARMS ADVANCES TO MASS PRODUCTION! DRDO’s 30 kW truck-mounted Directed Energy Weapon
India's Defence Research and Development Organisation is advancing its 30 kW truck-mounted directed energy weapon toward a first production model within a year, following successful 2025 trials by its Centre for High Energy Systems and Sciences. The system is designed to destroy drone swarms and fixed-wing UAVs, and talk is focused on it entering mass production as a low-cost answer to cheap drone threats.
Why now: Reports of successful trials and fast-tracked mass production of an Indian laser weapon have drawn attention amid rising drone warfare concerns.
