The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) said the weapon system was tested at Andhra Pradesh’s Kurnool.
India is among very few countries which are developing directed energy weapon systems to deal with future security challenges. The US, China and Russia are known to have developed directed energy weapon systems.
“CHESS DRDO conducted a successful field demonstration of the Land version of Vehicle mounted Laser Directed Weapon(DEW) MK-II(A) at Kurnool today,” the DRDO said in a social media post.
The Indian Air Force is already working towards integrating these weapon systems into airborne platforms.
