DURGA-2: Directionally Unrestricted Ray Gun Array System

Context: It is reported that a prototype of the DURGA-2 (Directionally Unrestricted Ray Gun Array) system is being tested by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).

About:

•    The DURGA-2 (Directionally Unrestricted Ray Gun Array) system damages or destroys its target using focused energy from lasers, microwaves, or particle beams.
•    These weapons transmit lethal force at the speed of light, approximately 300,000 kilometers per second.
•    Their beams are not affected by the constraining effects of gravity or atmospheric drag.
•    They offer exceptional precision, allowing for accurate targeting.
•    Effects can be tailored by adjusting the type and intensity of energy delivered against targets.
•    Implementation of such advanced weaponry can revolutionize warfare in the aerospace industry.
•    It facilitates the development of cutting-edge platforms, weapons, sensors, and networks crucial for achieving success in future conflicts.
•    Russia, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Israel, and China are among the countries that possess similar directed energy weapon systems.
