Directed energy weapons are ranged weapons or weapon systems that inflict damage on their targets using focused energy, including laser particle beams and microwaves. The potential applications of these systems encompass weapons targeting missiles, vehicles, personnel, and optical devices. Roketsan ALKA Directed Weapon System. The Alka Directed Energy Weapon System (DEWS) is developed to destroy or mitigate the effects of drone swarms, unmanned aerial vehicles and their derivatives, unmanned aerial vehicles endowed with different guidance methods, specially designed mechanisms for targets, bomb traps, and handmade explosive devices placed on or under roads, from a safe distance. 

With artificial intelligence, the radar can automatically detect and track targets based on the image, and can automatically aim at the targets revealed as a result of the detection. The energy weapon system, which can also be used without a radar, has an effective range of 500 to 1000 meters.
