Laser Directed Energy Weapon is essentially required as a kill option,” the RFI says. The RFI mentions that the systems should be equipped with Global Navigation Satellite Jammer System and Radio Frequency jammers as a soft kill option and Laser based Directed Energy Weapon as a hard kill option to destroy the drones. DRONE DOME-LIKE FEATURES The features are similar to Israel’s drone dome system that can detect small targets at a distance of 3.5 km and bring down the drones through a high-powered laser beam.
