KALI-5000
Provides extreme pulsed power for electronic vulnerability testing and HPM research.
01 Definition
02 Detailed_Analysis
KALI-5000 (Kilo Ampere Linear Injector-5000) is a high-power pulse-power accelerator developed by BARC's Accelerator & Pulse Power Division in collaboration with DRDO. Commissioned around 2004, the system operates at peak electrical parameters of 1 MeV beam energy, 80 kA current, and a 100 ns pulse width (generating up to 40 GW of pulsed beam power), used to produce flash X-rays and high-power microwave pulses.
