DURGA-II

Intelligence Summary: DURGA-II

Node Identity: DURGA-II is a entity categorized under "DEW" in the india intelligence graph. Directionally Unrestricted Ray-Gun Array - classified 100 kW modular system for fighters, naval destroyers, armored vehicles.

Research Evidence: The following findings from 3 research documents reference this entity:

1. Confidence: ESTABLISHED --- ## L4: DRDO Directed Energy Weapons — Mk-II(A), DURGA-II, and HPM Systems ### Finding: DRDO has achieved significant milestones in directed energy weapons (DEW), including successful testing of a 30 kW laser DEW (Mk-II(A)) in April 2025 that destroyed drones and surveillance sensors at ranges >3 km.
2. The DURGA-II program aims at 100+ kW systems, and a 300 kW "Surya" class is planned.
3. (Source: https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/defence/indias-first-laser-weapon-hits-aerial-targets-in-trial/articleshow/120262000.cms) - DURGA-II (Directionally Unrestricted Ray-Gun Array) is a classified 100 kW modular system envisioned for deployment on fighters, naval destroyers, and armored vehicles.
4. DURGA-II (100 kW) and Surya (300 kW) in development, "unlikely to enter service this decade." TRL: 5-6.

Strategic Relevance: DURGA-II is a tracked entity within the india network. With 5 documented connections to other entities, this node plays a significant role in the network topology.

Network Linkage: This entity maintains 5 documented connections in the intelligence network: DURGA-II led by LASTEC; DURGA-II evolves to Surya; DRDO develops DURGA-II; LASTEC leads DURGA-II; Surya evolution of DURGA-II.
