DRDO developing laser-based bomb disposal kit
New Delhi, Apr 14 (PTI) DRDO is developing a laser-based system which can neutralise land mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) from a distance of 250 metres without risking the lives of troops.
"We are in the process of developing the Laser Ordnance Disposal System (LORDS) which can be used for neutralizing mines, IEDs and other forms of explosives, planted by terrorists, from a distance of up to 250 meters," DRDO's Laser Science and Technology Centre (LASTEC) Director A K Maini told PTI here.
The system directs a high-energy invisible infrared beam on the target, which can be anything from land mines, IEDs or old bombs in the forces' inventory, and burns the explosive material inside them and renders them useless, he added.
