🇹🇷 ALKA (Yönlendirilmiş Enerji Silahı)
Land · Roketsan — Türkiye 🇹🇷 · 2019
ALKA is a two-layered C-UAS system that first drags mini/micro UAVs and loitering munitions off course with electromagnetic jamming, then destroys them with a laser; it operates from fixed and mobile (armored-vehicle) platforms.
Specifications
- Class: Hybrid directed-energy C-UAS (laser + EM jammer)
- Laser power: 20 kW (manufacturer-stated)
- Laser kill range: ~500–750 m
- EM (jam/destroy) range: ~1,000 m; swarm-disable ~4,000 m
- Target tracking: Up to 100 targets (radar); targets to 150 km/h; 8 mm precision at 1,000 m
- Deployment: Fixed or mobile (vehicle-mounted); day/night; AI-assisted detect-and-track
Beats: Mini/mikro İHA, döner-kanat dronlar ve seyyar (loiter) mühimmat — atış başına çok düşük maliyetle, Dron sürüsü tehditlerini EM karıştırma ile geniş alanda (~4 km) etkisizleştirme, IED/bomba tuzaklarını güvenli mesafeden lazerle nötralize etme
Loses to: Yüksek irtifa/yüksek hızlı uçak ve balistik/seyir füzelerine karşı (menzil ve güç sınırı), Yoğun sis, yağmur, toz ve duman gibi atmosferik koşullarda lazer etkinliği düşer, Zırhlı/sertleştirilmiş veya çok uzaktaki hedeflere karşı kısa imha menzili
Laser power (20 kW) and range figures are manufacturer/open-source claims with limited independent verification. ALKA is reported to have downed a Wing Loong II UAV at Misrata, Libya on 4 Aug 2019, claimed as the first vehicle-mounted combat-laser kill; combat use is reported but this 'first' framing remains UNVERIFIED by independent battle-damage assessment.
