In a first, the Indian Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) has developed a laser -based weapons system that can neutralize fixed -wing aircraft, missiles and swarm drones, marking a great milestone in the country’s technology.
A team of Drdo officials tested the new directed energy weapon (Rocío) based in a laser of 30 kilowatts in Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh, with positive results. With this technology, India has joined the list of elite countries such as the United States, China and Russia that have advanced laser weapons capabilities.
The MK-II Rocío System (A) designed and developed indigenous was demonstrated throughout its capacity spectrum by activating the fixed long-term gifts, frustrating an attack of multiple drones and destroying enemy sensors and antennas.

The speed of the commitment of commitment, accompanied by the accuracy of the strike in a few seconds, makes it one of the most powerful counter-rone systems. This weapons system was developed by the Drdo High Energy Systems and Sciences Center (Chess), Hyderabad.
This laser weapon can aim at aerial threats such as gifts and helicopters within a range of 5 km and also includes electronic war capabilities such as jam communication and satellite signs. It can be used both in land and naval operations.
This weapons system is now ready for production and deployment on several military platforms, according to reports. The DRD is also working on other high energy systems such as microwave and electromagnetic pulses to achieve “Star Wars” defense capabilities.
“This is just the beginning of the trip. The synergy that this laboratory has achieved with other Laboratories of DRD ANI. “We are working on a series of technologies that will give capacity to Star Wars. What you saw today was one of the components of Star Wars technologies.”
The greatest use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) worldwide has caused the demand for advanced anti-Drone technologies. In this context, the progress of India in the development of a weapons system based on laser marks a great leap forward in improving its preparation of defense and technological advantage.
