Russia’s Shvabe holding company, part of the Rostec State Corporation, has presented its first mobile laser for countering drones at the Interpolitex 2025 exhibition, according to the event website.
According to the show report:
“Its powerful, focused beam can disable several drones of various types within a minute,” said the system description. The entire system, including the control centre, fits in the back of a truck.The system is based on an air-cooled high-power laser and an optoelectronic system for target detection and tracking. The equipment is powered by onboard batteries, which can be recharged from external sources.
“All equipment, including the automated operator workstation, is mounted on an all-terrain truck. This ensures the system’s high mobility and allows for its rapid deployment to the desired location.
“The laser system can be used as a standalone counter-drone system or as part of a multi-layered air defence system. In this case, targeting sources are supplemented by external radar and acoustic stations, increasing the detection range. The control module can be remote, and the system itself can be highly mobile or, conversely, stationary.”
“The laser system developed by specialists at the Shvabe holding company is capable of engaging several fast-moving UAVs of various types, including small FPV drones, within a minute. Furthermore, high-power lasers are safe for use near civilian infrastructure,” said Bekkhan Ozdoyev, Industrial Director of the Armaments, Ammunition, and Specialized Chemicals Cluster at Rostec State Corporation.
