More detailed info on Nazar in the above article. Well worth the read!
Hellfire 2, Brahmos supersonic missiles etc, if they have an EO or IR seeker head, all can be stopped with this system.
This air defence system could prove to be just as valuable to us as Hisar or Siper!
The Vice President of Meteksan is reiterating again that the effective range of Nazar is twice that of a Phalanx CIWS.
With it’s eleven different apertures the system sends different wavelengths to the missile’s seeker head and finds out which is the right wavelength laser to use to blind it. All this is done within seconds. Multiple targets can be engaged as well as one after the other at quick successions.
Beauty of it is that, including the lasers most parts are indigenously produced.
This is an ingenious way to destroy missiles. Rather than a hard kill method with powerful lasers, which are restricted by range and supply of energy, the Nazar system uses low energy lasers to blind the missiles.
The system can be made smaller in the days to come, to fit on, say a drone like Aksungur; Or it can be fitted on a platform like ULAQ.
