Demir said, “Alka, which consists of a high-power laser weapon with an electromagnetic jamming system, a target detection radar, and a target tracking system, provides superior detection, tracking and destruction capability against ground and air targets at the level of seconds.”
As a very close hybrid air defence system, DEWS uses electromagnetic and laser technology against asymmetric threats. Threats are interfered with by Electromagnetic Jamming System [EJS] and are destroyed by Laser Destruction System [LDS] with two-layered defence architecture. It can also be used to counter bomb traps in residential areas and roadside Improvised Explosive Devices [IEDs].
