"We aim to protect troops and operations with our mobile version, while the fixed one will be more suitable for headquarters, bases, ships or other strategic points."
Alka can disable a swarm of drones up to 4 kilometers (2.4 miles) away and destroy drones with explosives from 500 meters (1,600 feet) away.
The system uses focused laser or electromagnetic beams to destroy or disable drones at a safe distance. It can neutralize threats day and night, and the cost of using the system is a lot cheaper compared to conventional weapons, Kayasal said.
According to Kayasal, Alka has passed its preliminary tests with great accuracy and one had already been deployed to protect a Roketsan facility.
