High Energy Laser Weapon Can Beat Everything!
High Energy Laser Weapon Can Beat Everything!
Shipborne burning laser cannons belong to high-energy adjustable laser weapons. Through the power system of the ship the shipboard laser weapon can be used to destroy the enemy missiles, such as 2.5 times the speed of sound action flexible "sound tail snake" missile.
Navy laser weapon has been deployed
As a sea laser weapon, the transmission effect caused by the ocean environment is very important. The research shows that the thermal blooming limits the atmospheric transmission of high energy laser beam, and also limits its effectiveness. The wavelength of the chemical laser is not the best for the coastal environment. Thus, the U.S. Navy's high energy laser program to change the direction of the other laser occurs.
At present, the development plan of shipborne 5000mw Laser Pointer can only meet a need, the U. S. Navy's goal is to be able to develop a direct threat to launch these missiles aircraft, launch vehicles and land-based missile base laser weapons. To this end, they coordinated multiple operational laser projects, and requested in October this year to submit a plan, so that these laser weapons can be better meet the application of the battlefield. With the implementation of unified planning, the pace of research on laser cannon will be faster.
The United States Navy is redoubling its efforts to research the surface ships and submarines equipped with high-energy laser weapons in the next 10 years. Their goal is to develop a fatal and non fatal capability of Laser Sight , used to against anti-ship cruise missiles, small ships, marine aircraft and UAVs . In order to be able to use the laser cannon, the United States Navy has plans to develop the next generation of aircraft carrier, CVN21, including several new types of warships on the installation of large power generation equipment. When laser weapons research and development success and the amount of postpartum, it will be deployed and used in these ships.
Obvious advantages of laser weapon
Laser weapon is the most promising and natural advantage for air defense, especially for missile defense. As long as the power is enough, the precision guided weapon is especially effective, and the speed is fast, that is, the goal is not to avoid. These characteristics, destined to its fire control device will be more simple and more high-speed. Since the laser cannon so powerful, is it can be invincible?
Not so simple. First, the Red Laser weapon is affected by weather, the cloud will seriously affect the damage effect. In addition, the laser cannon can also intercept missiles at the same time, the laser must be targeted, to calibrate, to track the irradiation, with a simple to use without imagination. The most serious is that the laser cannon requires complex and large power supply and strong current support, is bound to consume a large amount of fuel. For warships, this means that the number of firing is relatively limited.
