India Successfully Conducts Maiden Flight Test of Integrated Air Defence Weapon System
The maiden flight tests of the Integrated Air Defence Weapon System (IADWS) were successfully carried out off the coast of Odisha.
The IADWS is a cutting-edge, multi-layered air defence system designed to safeguard Indian airspace against potential threats.
The system comprises a robust mix of indigenous technologies, including the Quick Reaction Surface to Air Missile (QRSAM), the Advanced Very Short Range Air Defence System (VSHORADS), and a high-power laser-based Directed Energy Weapon (DEW).
Key Features of the IADWS
QRSAM: The Quick Reaction Surface to Air Missile (QRSAM) is an advanced missile system engineered to intercept and destroy short-range aerial threats with high precision.
VSHORADS: The Advanced Very Short Range Air Defence System (VSHORADS) enhances the defence capabilities by targeting low-altitude threats, including helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
Directed Energy Weapon (DEW): The Directed Energy Weapon (DEW), a revolutionary system using powerful lasers, offers a non-kinetic method of neutralizing enemy missiles and other airborne threats. This significantly strengthens India's air defence capabilities.
