DRDO developing Active Denial System (ADS) as a part of its Directed-Energy Weapons (DEW) Programme

‘Active denial systems to smoke terrorists out of hideouts’​

​

The active denial systems (ADS) being developed by the Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO) can freeze terrorists without causing any physical harm. It can create an uncomfortable pain-like feeling in terrorists taking shelter at a safe zone and force them to come out from their hideout.

This system works with High Power Electro Magnetic Waves which is part of developing Electromagnetic Warfare.

Disclosing these details at a lecture on ‘Opportunities for Research in DRDO’ held at GITAM, Hyderabad campus, on Friday, V. Bhujanga Rao, Director General (Naval Systems and Materials), DRDO, said that the defence organisation has also been developing microprocessors – Anurag and Anupama – to meet the requirements. Informing that Rs. 15,000 crore is being released annually by the Union Government to take up research by 52 establishments across the nation, Dr. Bhujanga Rao said that it took Rs. 20,000-crore investment and two decades of struggle involving 500 industries to develop Light Combat Aircraft (LCA). Stating that the engines of LCA need to be developed indigenously, he said that the process is on. Dr. Bhujanga Rao also explained radar technologies covering different radius, 3D mobile range surveillance radar systems that are being used at border areas, array radar systems, weapon locating radars, airborne radar system and aerostat technology. Informing about Lakshya, Nishant and Rustum, he said even a man walking on the road or any vehicle can be identified through these systems.

“It is costing about $20,000 to take a payload of one kilogram into the space and we want to reduce it to $200 by 2050,” he said.

GITAM Pro-Vice-Chancellor R. Shiva Kumar, Director N. Shiva Prasad and others were present.

So when we are going to induct this into armed forces?

Is it by or to? Just $200 by 2050 is very stupid and lousy target. This should be done in an year or two.

Pretty obvious that it is a mistake.

The programme is still in its embryonic stage - DRDO's initial aim was to create a new centre/lab which will look at how to convert these technologies into weapon systems. That centre has just come up - the Laser Science and Technology Center (LASTEC). But within the next decade they are looking for sufficient deployable capability. The first such test of a deployable weapon system within one decade is expected.

India is currently working upon a series of DEWs to improve its anti-ballistic missile capability. According to officials at the Laser Science and Technology Center (LASTEC), a laboratory developing lasers and related technologies, belonging to the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) – an agency under India’s Ministry of Defence working on various areas of military technology while striving to meet cutting edge weapons technology requirements – a laser weapon (one among the DEWs pack) could fire a beam with a potency of 25 kilowatts to intercept and destruct an incoming ballistic missile in its terminal phase within the range of seven kilometers (4.3 miles). The targeting laser beam raises the shell temperature of the ballistic missile to 400+ degrees Fahrenheit, as a consequence of which the ballistic missile would explode.

Work is also in progress for a 100-kilowatt solid-state laser system to eliminate missiles that are in their boost phase. Besides, LASTEC, functioning under the DRDO, with a mandate to develop DEWs for the Indian Armed Forces, announced in 2010 that it was developing a vehicle-mounted gas dynamic laser-based DEW system under its Aditya project, slated for completion by 2013. Having already overshot its time stipulation, this project is still a work in progress. Once ready, the Aditya project will be a technology demonstrator to prove beam control technology. Last, LASTEC will commence developing solid-state lasers, for which no timeline has yet been set, at least in the public domain.

You cannot crush freedom fighters and thier moral by acquiring highTechnology. Free Kashmir.

We will try this on them first to confirm ur statement.

You cannot take kashmir by writing free kashmir. Aa ke le ja

The Yanks are already doing this in Afghanistan - and so will we do in our war against terror! Damn a high-powered beam of 95 GHz electromagnetic wave can literally beat the hell out of your soul!

Just wait for nato withdrawl, BTW isaf forces used advance technology against handful men but failed.

I too want this to happen so that ttp becomes strong again

That would be useful for the indians to guard their Bangladesh border from illegal immigrants.

Actually we were planning to deploy it in kashmir to deter terrorists.
