The KALI (Kilo Ampere Linear Injector)

The KALI (Kilo Ampere Linear Injector)

The KALI (Kilo Ampere Linear Injector) is a linear electron accelerator being developed in India, by the Defence Research Development Organization (DRDO) and the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC).


The KALI is not a laser weapon as commonly believed. It emits powerful pulses of electrons (Relativistic Electron Beams- REB). Other components in the machine down the line convert the electron energy into EM Radiation, which can be adjusted to x-ray (as Flash X-Rays) or microwave (High Power Microwave) frequencies.

This has fueled hopes that the KALI could, one day be used in a High-Power Microwave gun, which could destroy incoming missiles and aircraft through soft-kill (destroying the electronic circuitry on the missile). However, weaponising such a system has many obstacles to overcome.

The KALI's potential for a military role as a beam weapon has made it, in the eyes of the people, "India's Star Wars". However, weaponisation of the KALI will take some time. The system is still under development, and efforts are being made to make it more compact, as well as improve its recharge time, which, at the present, makes it only a single use system.

There are also issues of creating a complete system, which would require development of many more components. There have also been reports of placing the weaponized KALI in an Il-76 aircraft as an airborne defence system. There is also speculation of using the KALI as an Anti-satellite weapon and as a space-based weapon system, although it is unlikely that they would be implemented, given India's stance on those issues.

If weaponized, it is quite likely that KALI would be integrated into India's fledgling Ballistic Missile Defense program.

I think that system is at least 15 years away

no it wont KALI-5000 was commissioned for use in late 2004

True. before that many other, less powerful versions of KALI like KALI-80/100/150/200/1000 were developed since
1994-1995 and commissioned. as you said KALI-5000 was commissioned in 2004.

The KALI-10,000 is the weapon in development, its for pure military use

i guess something like il-76 cargolifters are needed to deploy this weapon in the sky, like an AWACS or something,
we should go for the il-476 in future, it would be better for this kind of role than il-76

plus DRDO's LASTEC subsidery is assembling the DEW (directed energy weapon), its like the lasers US is deploying,
someone got any news on that?

omg i thought when drdo calimed that india is working on laser weapons they were jooking. but yeah they r serious.

No problem, if any update!!!

Now the main thing..
the fact is Hindi is the National language of India.. so names of missile are mostly based on hindi(sanskrit) words... but hindi secular words... so ....?????... there is nothing to hide...and its a fact..its just like that....

No Hindi is not National languages of India
Matter of fact no weapons has been named in South Indian languages also. NO IDEA WHY
