India's 30 kW laser anti-drone weapon heads to 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 moving its 30 kW truck-mounted directed energy weapon toward a first production model, expected within a year, after successful 2025 trials by its CHESS laboratory. The system is designed to destroy drone swarms and fixed-wing UAVs with high-energy lasers, and reports say it is advancing to mass production.

Why now: Successful trials and the move to serial production of a laser weapon mark a major step for India's air-defence capabilities.
