‘World’s smallest’ 2 kW AI laser sniper integrated on ground robot

India has developed the world’s most compact AI-powered 2 kW laser sniper system, integrated onto an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), marking a significant advancement in autonomous battlefield technology. Created by the domestic defense firm Olee.space, this directed-energy weapon is designed for close-combat and perimeter defense, capable of neutralizing, dazzling, or disabling hostile targets within seconds. The compact UGV platform measures approximately 1.5 by 0.9 meters, weighs under 250 kilograms, and is powered by a diesel engine, allowing it to operate efficiently across diverse and challenging terrains such as urban zones, forests, deserts, and border regions where traditional armored systems may be less effective. Equipped with AI and machine learning algorithms, the system can autonomously detect, identify, and engage targets with minimal human intervention, and it can operate in coordinated swarms to cover larger areas and counter multiple threats simultaneously, including unmanned aerial vehicles. The UGV has a range of over 130 kilometers
