A new 300-kilowatt directed-energy weapon (DEW) under development in India is designed to neutralize emerging threats at distances of up to 20 kilometers (12.4 miles).
At its core, the system integrates advanced beam-generation technology with high-gain supersonic nozzles, centrifugal bubble-based subsystems, and sealed exhaust control.
For long-range engagement, it incorporates a beam control system and a 60-centimeter (23.6-inch) output aperture to support stable beam delivery.
