Laser Weapons Enter the Battlefield, Making History with Drone Interception

Israel has made history by becoming the first country to successfully intercept enemy drones using laser weapons in combat, said a report by NDTV citing tweets with videos of combat. The Israeli Air Force deployed prototype laser defense systems during the ongoing Swords of Iron War, marking a significant milestone in modern warfare.

This is amazing

Developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, these high-powered lasers direct intense beams of light at targets, using heat to disable or destroy them. Video footage released by Israel’s Ministry of Defense shows the system in action, igniting drone wingtips and causing them to crash. The technology is expected to complement Israel’s Iron Beam system, which is designed to provide cost-effective defense against drones and short-range projectiles.

 

This breakthrough could reshape air defense strategies worldwide, offering a cheaper alternative to traditional missile interceptors. However, laser-based systems still face challenges, such as reduced effectiveness in cloudy weather.

Laser weapons are rapidly reshaping global military strategies, offering speed-of-light interception, cost-effective defense, and precision targeting.

Israel’s Iron Beam system is designed to complement the Iron Dome, providing a cheaper alternative to missile interceptors. The system can neutralize drones, rockets, and mortar shells at a fraction of the cost.

The U.S. military has deployed Precision-High Energy Laser (P-HEL) systems to protect overseas forces. The HELIOS system, mounted on naval ships, is designed to intercept drones and incoming missiles.

China has reportedly tested Silent Hunter, a vehicle-mounted laser system capable of disabling drones and lightly armored vehicles. Recent sightings suggest its deployment on Type 071 amphibious ships, expanding naval applications.

India’s DRDO labs are working on laser weapons, aiming to integrate them into air defense systems. While still in development, India’s efforts signal growing interest in directed-energy solutions.

Traditional missile defense systems can cost millions per shot, while laser weapons operate at a fraction of that price.

Unlike missiles, lasers don’t require reloads, making them ideal for sustained defense. However, cloud cover and atmospheric interference can reduce effectiveness, requiring hybrid defense strategies.

India Plans High-Tech Warfare with 5 New DRDO Labs focusing AI, Quantum, Cognitive Tech & Smart Materials

Representative

India has set sight over high-tech warfare as state-owned military research & development agency, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), has announced that it has launched five new laboratories known as Young Scientists laboratories, each focusing core areas of futuristic technologies including Artificial Intelligence (AI), Quantum Technologies, Cognitive Technologies, Asymmetric Technologies and Smart Materials -- object which can change shape, size and behavior upon external stimuli.

These five new defence labs under the DRDO, formally launched on Thursday by PM Narendra Modi, are located in Bengaluru, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata and Hyderabad. These labs will be led by under-35 directors and young military scientists to drive India's warfare technologies of the future.

Jadavpur University campus in Kolkata will have research lab of futuristic area of Asymmetric Technologies. While, the research in hot and critical area of Smart Materials and their applications will be based out of Hyderabad. Research in the area of Artificial Intelligence will be carried out at Bengaluru, while the all-important area of Quantum Technology will be based out of IIT Mumbai.

In the area of cognitive technologies research, IIT Madras will house the lab for the same.

To recall, in 2018 a govt. of India initiated task force led by Tata Sons Chairman N. Chandrasekaran handed over the report to the Indian defence minister for implementation of its recommendations on using AI for military superiority.

While AI and Quantum computing are familiar to tech enthusiasts, Asymmetric technolgies and smart materials are quite new and described in brief as below -

Asymmetric technologies, in our understanding, refers to technologies involved in war between enemy or entity that acts in a hostile manner and whose relative military power/strategy/ tactics differs significantly. Asymmetric warfare is a form of irregular warfare and the term is also frequently used to describe what is also called "guerrilla warfare", "insurgency", "counterinsurgency", "rebellion", "terrorism", and "counter-terrorism", essentially violent combat between a formal military and an informal, less equipped and supported, undermanned but resilient and motivated opponent.

Smart Materials are objects that can change shape or behaviors with hot water, pressure, chemical, light or heat. Essentially, these materials sense and react to environmental conditions or stimuli (e.g., mechanical, chemical, electrical, or magnetic signals). Smart materials are said to be beneficial for industries such as aerospace, medical, textile, construction, and electronics as it improve efficiency and save resources by responding to corrosion, pH changes, water content, temperature, mechanical forces, and much more.

These smart materials could even self-assemble when one touches them. When a stimulus is applied on such a smart object, it is possible to transform into a brand new shape as these materials are reacting to their external environment.

Cognitive Technologies, on other hand, extend the power of information technology to tasks traditionally performed by humans, such technology can mimic functions of the human brain through various means, including natural language processing, data mining and pattern recognition.

High-Tech Warfare Programs of US & China

US based DARPA's Illustration of example disaster response scenario

While DRDO is India's military research body, the analogous of same in the United States is DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), which has developed several futuristic technologies and warfare systems way beyond imaginations to countries in south-east Asia. While cognitive tech research are being done since 2002 by the US agency, asymmetric warfare technologies is said to be first introduced by DARPA in 1960s used for fighting Communist insurgents in Vietnam and Thailand.

DARPA is working on 'Sensor plants' which uses plants to gather intelligence information" through DARPA's Advanced Plant Technologies (APT) program, which aims to control the physiology of plants in order to detect threats including chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats.

DARPA is also said to be working on creating a ‘black box’ for brain, which is much like the black box used in airplanes. The microchip implanted in brain will record every moment and make it possible to obtain information one's final moments.

The Chinese counterpart of DARPA is considered to be COSTIND (Commission for Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense), which aims to facilitate the transfer of technology between the military and civilian sectors and has played an important role in China's space program.

Indian Defence Minister Throws 11 Tech Challenges At Startups

Just last month, a task force submitted a report on using Artificial Intelligence (AI) for military superiority to the Defence Minister of India Nirmala Sitharaman. In continuation to this, Defence Minister now calls on the startups in India to come up with potential solutions for technological needs of defence establishments while launching the Defence India Startup Challenge in Bengaluru and urges them to play an active role in achieving self-reliance in defence production.

A total of 11 challenges by Ministry of Defence (MoD) are thrown open to provide solutions by the startup ecosystem. The challenge is is part of iDEX (Innovation for Defence Excellence) scheme, which is one of many schemes announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in April meant to build an eco-system of innovation and entrepreneurship in India for the defence sector to make India self-reliant.

The 11 challenges thrown open to the prospective startups include individual protection system with built-in sensors, see-through armour, carbon fibre winding, active protection system, secure hardware based offline encrypt or device for graded security and development of 4G/LTE based tactical local area network, among others.

The ministry of defence also launched the Support for Prototype & Research Kickstart (SPARK) initiative, which would enable calling for proposals to address specific technological needs of the defence establishment. Applicants showing capability, intent, and promise to be able to produce functional prototypes or to make products with existing technology will get up to Rs 1.5 crore under various schemes.

Defence Minister Sitharaman announced that the Promotion of Startups under Make-II procedure of DPP 2016, under which projects with estimated cost of prototype development phase not exceeding Rs 3 crore have been reserved for startups with no separate technical, or, financial criteria disbarring them. “We’re not disallowing you based on old procedures like technical and financial limitations. If you have an idea and you test it with us, it will find a market as we’ll place orders,” she said.

Additionally, a set of incubators are also recognized for these challenges and the MoD has also signed an MoU with 5 incubators. IIM Ahmedabad, IIT Mumbai, Forge IIT Madras, and T hub who will work in tandem to provide solutions for defence requirements in Airforce, Navy and for Army.

The launch of challenges will provide filip to the innovation potential in the country, partnering with the best minds nationally and internationally.

Notably, with this challenge India is trying to reiterate the Israel entrepreneurship model in the defence establishment. In Israel, an entire defence startup ecosystem exists in the country with the government, the military and the various defence companies and startups being stakeholders of the system.

The three largest industrial entities in Israel ecosystem are the government-owned Israeli Aerospace Industry, Israeli Military Industries and the Rafael Arms Development Authority. The Maf’at, which is a joint administrative body of the Israeli Ministry of Defense and Israel Defense Forces coordinates between the Israeli MoD, the IDF and the military industries and startups.

Israel also has the Yozma program, which is a fund of funds to invest in local venture capital funds, while India has Defence Innovation Fund (DIF). The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) actively encourages innovation in its units. Military veterans of the IDF use their acquired experience to launch their own technology start-ups for defence sector. This essentially form “a feedback loop” in the entire Israeli defence sector.

Other countries are also wising up to this approach of including small to medium scale innovation in the military industrial complex. The European Defense Action Plan, 2016 lays a sharp focus on engagement with and investment in SMEs, startups and midcaps for the defence industry.

India Prepares Final Report on Using AI for Military Superiority

Last year, Russian president Vladimir Putin said -- Whoever leads in AI will rule the world!. Going by this philosophy of future, Russia's good old friend India had constituted a task force, in February this year, to study the strategic implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in national security perspective and in global context.

Today, after five odd months the Task Force led by Tata Sons Chairman N. Chandrasekaran has handed over the final report to the Defence Minister of India Nirmala Sitharaman to accept it and to implement its recommendations on using AI for military superiority.

The task force constituted a multi-stakeholder group comprising members from government, services, academia, industry and startups.

The Ministry of Defence said in a statement, "AI has the potential to have transformative impact on national security. It is also seen that AI is essentially a dual use technology. While it can fuel technology driven economic growth, it also has potential to provide military superiority."

The government wants to leverage the country's strong IT industry and huge talent pool of engineers. The ministry has initiated the process of preparing Indian defence forces in their use of AI and how these capabilities can be increasingly developed within the country.

Just yesterday, the defence ministry has also issued new guidlines for Indian startups to take part in military projects in an attempt to encourage homegrown startups undertake research projects to develop or upgrade weapon systems and in turn reduce imports in this field.

Going forward with the report, it studied the level of AI or machine learning (ML) development in India mainly in context of defence needs. It also suggested making India a significant power of AI in defence specifically in the area of aviation, naval, land systems, cyber, nuclear and biological warfare.

Additionally, it also made recommendations for policy and institutional interventions that are required to regulate and encourage a robust AI based technologies for defence sector in the country.

Considering that most AI work is happening in private sector, it made recommendations to work with start-ups and commercial industry in the field of use of AI for defence purposes, the release said.

As part of its deliberations, the Task Force had an intensive deliberations with all stakeholder representatives including officers from Army, Navy, Airforce, Coast Guard, representatives of all Defence PSUs, namely BEL, HAL, BEML, BDL, MIDHANI, MDL, GRSE, GSL and HSL and OFB.

To recall, recently a retired Vice Admiral of Pakistan, Arifullah Hussaini had said that India is wasting money on it’s defence budget as the future of war is AI. And now that the final report to implement AI in Indian military has been submitted to Indian defence ministry, its high time for India to lead the example of AI supremacy not just in Indian sub-continent but Asia as well, and then go for global competition.

Moreover, it is also to be noted that India has also joined hands with Japan to launch robotics and artificial intelligence in the defence segment.
