Double trouble: ‘World’s first’ laser-armed tank jams and fries drones mid-air | Kapil Kajal, Interesting Engineering The ALKA DEWS is a hybrid air defense system made for close-range combat. Turkey has introduced the ALKA-KAPLAN, a hybrid tracked vehicle that has a directed energy weapon system to fight drone threats on the battlefield. This is the first system of its kind and will be officially shown at IDEF 2025, highlighting Ankara’s effort to use modern technologies in its armored vehicles and to deal with the rise of unmanned aerial systems. Zapping drones with lasers after jamming them Developed through a collaboration between FNSS and ROKETSAN, the ALKA-KAPLAN combines the KAPLAN HYBRID tracked platform with the ALKA Directed Energy Weapon System (DEWS). The integration responds to a key need in modern military forces: mobile, armored platforms that can fight against drones while working alongside tanks and infantry vehicles in challenging environments. The ALKA-KAPLAN represents a major change in Turkey’s defense approach. Instead of traditional air defense systems, this approach uses electromagnetic jamming and strong lasers to target drones, helicopters, and other flying weapons. The ALKA DEWS is a hybrid air defense system made for close-range combat. It uses an electromagnetic jamming system to interfere with enemy actions and a high-energy laser to destroy targets. This combination enables ALKA to neutralize a wide spectrum of asymmetric aerial threats, including fixed-wing and rotary-wing mini/micro UAVs and loitering munitions, before they can damage frontline assets. The ALKA DEWS architecture includes artificial intelligence-assisted tracking and threat identification, allowing rapid detection and elimination of UAVs and improvised explosive devices. The system can be set up in different ways: fixed, mobile, or portable. This allows it to protect urban areas, open land, or convoys. The KAPLAN HYBRID Powerpack powers this system, which was first shown as a concept in 2023. Hybrid powerpack FNSS designed the high-kilowatt generator to drive the vehicle and provide sufficient energy to power high-consumption systems like ALKA. This eliminates the need for auxiliary power units and enables extended silent operation, which is vital for stealth and reconnaissance missions. ALKA-KAPLAN’s powerpack design was entirely developed by FNSS engineers using a combination of indigenously produced and locally sourced subsystems. The hybrid propulsion architecture improves fuel efficiency, reduces thermal signature, and increases the vehicle’s operational range by over 10% when the generator operates in standby. The ALKA system can disrupt UAVs that use advanced guidance technologies, including GPS-denied navigation and image-assisted targeting. ROKETSAN has emphasized that ALKA’s layered defense, combining electronic warfare and directed energy, offers a cost-effective and scalable response to drone saturation attacks. ALKA can help neutralize threats from the air, roadside bombs, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and unexploded bombs in combat zones. This project is part of Turkey’s larger plan to rely less on foreign defense technologies, especially high-energy weapons and vehicle drivetrains. FNSS’s development of a locally produced cross-drive gearbox, a critical component often sourced from a handful of global suppliers, positions the firm among a select few with end-to-end capability for tracked vehicle systems. The ALKA-KAPLAN is designed for up to 20 tons of platforms and can be adapted for future tracked vehicle programs or modernization projects. Read more:
