KALI 5000 - Enemy Missiles - Here we come!

[aliyah]

This is just non-weaponized high power experimental laser. It has no military significance as of yet.

it is not laser its electron beam that will be used to make electronic weapons non functional

 

[raja696]

can it be used as underwater mine buster frying plc etc... may be stupid question can some one post its working mechanism link?

KALI is a Virtual Cathode Oscillator which can be used for High Power Electromagnetic Pulse generation technique aka E bomb.
E Bomb are mostly created by
The Compton effect (for nuclear e-bomb)
Flux compression (for non-nuclear e-bomb)
Key technologies, which are used are explosively pumped Flux Compression Generators (FCG) , propellant driven Magneto-Hydrodynamic (MHD) generators and VIRCATOR

FCG : The flux compression is defined as compressing a large amount of flux within a low inductive region so a FCG is is a device capable of producing electrical energies of tens of Mega Joules in 1/1000 th part of a microcecond with peak power levels of the order of Tera Watts .
This FCG’s energy pulse is fed through an inductor producing a voltage which powers the vircator, which converts the energy into microwaves in the end there is an antenna that radiates the resultant high-power microwave radiation.
The lethality of the e-bomb depends chiefly on the strength of the blast that can be achieved from the explosive and proper polarization of the antenna .
Power level achieved by Vircator experiments in India ranges from 170 Kilo watts to 40 Giga watts with frequencies in the KALI .
At such energy levels KALI can fry any electronic device like for eg MOSFET can have a gate breakdown with a small amount off energy no need for a E bomb . It will be fair to say it can easily destroy a military base if dropped from a proper detonation altitude . It can be delivered through a glide bomb which by the way we are testing.
The problem is that it is very heavy in its current form i.e in 2005 and no more news is available since as it is seen as a strategic military project.

KALI is also used in DARHT ( Dual axis radiography hydrodynamic test ) facility which is used to create robust numerical hydrodynamic algorithms, databases like Equation Of State , radiative opacity, particle interaction cross-sections and material properties for extensive simulation of the hydro dynamic phenomena in critical testing of our implosion device

Government refuses information on KALI 5000 citing national security
NEW DELHI: The government today refused to share information with the Parliament about KALI 5000 project citing it to be a matter of national security.

"The desired information is sensitive in nature and its disclosure is not in the interest of national security," Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said in a written reply to Lok Sabha.

The question asked was whether there is any proposal to induct KALI 5000 in the armed forces.

According to publicly available information, KALI (Kilo Ampere Linear Injector) is a linear electron accelerator being developed in India, by Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO) and Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC).

It is designed to work in such a way that if a missile is launched in India's direction, it will quickly emit powerful pulses of Relativistic Electrons Beams (REB).

Unlike laser beams, it does not create a hole in the target but damages the on-board electronic systems.

KALI project was first initiated by the then BARC Director Dr R.Chidambaram in 1985 and work on the project began in 1989.

The government also refused to share much information on safety steps being taken by India for protection of space assets.

Something is really fishy in this regard.BARC,DRDO and the MoD have been cooking something secretly for the decade or and hence this prompt denial from the R.M. Mr.Parikkar.
