Germany Laser Weapon VS USA
Germany high powered laser weapons maintain a leading position in the field of high-tech military products.In actual combat, laser weapons destroy the other reconnaissance satellite and even to the other side of the intercontinental missile to destroy a boost in the rising stage.Thus, laser weapons testing will lead to a new revolution in military technology, so that the equipment will enter a new stage of development, and provide new operational tools for the future war, eventually will completely change the future war mode.At present, Rhine is developing a small metal, can be deployed in front of soldiers to protect the safety.Located in the O Kessen Boden field test in Switzerland Rhine metal defense company.Of course, Germany is not the first to have laser weapons, it will not be the last.
High Powered Laser Weapon Development
Allegedly, the company is also developing a burning laser which power of 100 kilowatts, is expected to market in the next 3 to 5 years.Rhine metal company stressed that the laser is used for non traditional security and counter-terrorism,can also destroy the drone and roadside bombs.At the same time, the German LFK-MBDA company headed by German company group in accordance with the European defense agency.The formation of future laser weapon system requirements in the research framework, determine its appearance.
According to the German Bundeswehr LFK-MBDA orders, the company is implementing the ground air defense laser weapon system development plan.It has been demonstrating oxygen iodine laser shooting target shooting test was carried out, including the aerodynamic target.The battle is expected, laser output power is about 100 kilowatts, a range of a few kilometers.
United States Will Deploy Shipborne Laser Weapons
The USA has a history of 40 years in the high-energy laser weapon technology, and have achieved abundant research results.Up to now, they has b developed land, sea and air equipment for various types of laser weapon platform.In recent years, these new 100mw Laser Pointer and new concepts such as bamboo shoots after a spring rain progress rapidly, showing good prospects of the battlefield.The new laser weapon system based on airborne laser and advanced tactical laser.In 2012, the U.S. Navy announced the 100 kilowatt laser weapons program, funding for $110 million.In 80s, the U.S. Army made good use of high power laser and unexploded ordnance (uXO) concept, and after ten years of successful development of Zeus - Hummer laser ammunition disposal system.
Zeus "laser ammunition disposal system consists of high power solid-state laser, a directional beam, Laser Sight , color television camera, the console and the corresponding support system.The strong laser beam generated by the system can destroy the target at a safe distance."Laser Avenger" system can also destroy an improvised explosive device.In July 2006, Northrop Grumman Corporation developed the "Air Guard" system successfully, this system is developed based on the earlier models of the tactical laser weapons on the defense to short-range ballistic missile.
