The Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) on Sunday (April 13, 2025) announced the successful trial of an Energy Weapon System (Rocío) MK-II (a) Laser “that dominates the technology of missiles, drones and smaller projectiles.” Success has put India in the exclusive and limited Club of Nations, which has the high power laser system, Drdo said in a statement.
“The Rocío MK-II (a) system designed and developed indigenous was demonstrated in all its spectrum or capacity by involving the long-term fixed wing drones, frustrating a multiple drone attack and destroying the enemy sensors and antenna Powerful “”. ” “.” “
The profitable defense solutions requirement to compensate for low -cost drones attacks is to boost the adoption of rocky for military organizations around the world, said Drdo. “The cost of dismissing it for a few seconds is equivalent to the cost of a couple of liters of gasoline. Therefore, it has the potential to be a long -term and low -cost alternative to defeat the target.”

Detailing the operation of the system, the statement said detected by a radar or by its electro-optic system (EO) Bnes, Laser-Dew may involve objectives at the speed of light and use an intense laser beam to cut the failure failure by fault failure of the Tarefre. This type of avant -garde weapons has the potential to revolutionize the battle space by reducing the dependence of expensive ammunition, while loosening the risk of collateral damage, said Drdo.
The trial was held in the National Outdoor Cordillera, Kurnool in Andhra Pradesh. The system was developed by the DRDO High Energy Systems and Sciences Center (Chess), Hyderabad along with other laboratories, academic institutions and Indian industries.
Pointing out that the proliferation of non-manned air systems (UAS) and the appearance of ashimetric threats of drone swarms are promoting the demand for energy weapons directed with counter-UAs and capitabling counter-catarium, Drdo said Sopphale Kinale said the systems due to their ease of operation and profitability.
