Serial Production of ALKA Directed Energy Weapon System Started

Mass production activities of the ALKA system, which was developed by ROKETSAN against drone and IED attacks, started.

ROKETSAN General Manager Murat Iki made statements about the ALKA system developed in an interview he gave on NTV. Murat İkinci stated that ALKA's mass production activities have started and that it will be used for the protection of critical facilities as soon as possible.

Stating that the ALKA system, which includes a directed laser gun, is a system that provides protection against drone attacks in three stages, Second said that with the radar system on the first level, it detects drones that may pose a threat to him. ALKA, which ensures that drones do not pose a threat by taking them out of control with GPS and frequency mixing systems on the second level, can deactivate the drone by burning it with its 2.5 kilowatt laser system on the third level.
