Apollo Micro Systems secures two DRDO Technology Transfers for Directed Energy Weapon Systems

Apollo Micro Systems Limited (AMS), a leading defence electronics and systems company, announced that it has received approvals from the Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) for two Transfers of Technology (ToT) in the domain of Directed Energy Weapon (DEW) systems.

ToT 1 - Transfer of Technology for Multi-Channel 10 kW Laser Directed Energy Weapon System from DRDO-CHESS, Hyderabad, subject to execution of a Licensed Agreement for Transfer of Technology (LAToT) and fulfillment of regulatory requirements.

ToT 2 - Transfer of Technology for EO Tracking System with EO Sensors for DEW from DRDO-IRDE, Dehradun.

Commenting on the development, Mr. Karunakar Reddy, Managing Director, said: "The receipt of these two DRDO technology transfers marks a significant milestone for Apollo Micro Systems in the Directed Energy Weapons domain. These technologies strengthen our ability to deliver indigenous, high-technology solutions aligned with national defence priorities.

Our Company is currently developing critical Anti-Drone Systems under the 'Make' category for the Indian Armed Forces, wherein both soft-kill and hard-kill solutions, including rocket-based interceptors, are being developed to counter swarm drone threats. The Directed Energy Weapon (DEW) technologies received through these Transfers of Technology will serve as an additional capability, complementing our ongoing development efforts, particularly in view of the rapidly evolving threat landscape posed by aerial systems.

We remain committed to supporting India's defence ecosystem through the development and delivery of advanced, reliable, and scalable indigenous systems."
