Data Figure: U.S. developed airborne tactical laser weapons
laser weapons, combat power has proved – 2011 8 23, in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli Defense Forces launched a military crackdown, the use of an advanced tactical laser weapons, blinding of the Hamas armed anti-tank missiles, electro-optical fire control system.
present, the world military power airborne, shipboard, and the car was strong research and development of laser weapons.
Airborne Laser
the first U.S. Air Force airborne laser aircraft to “Boeing 747-400F” as a platform, attached to Edwards Air Force Air Force Base. The aircraft loaded with powerful high-energy COIL power chemical laser to destroy airborne targets.
current U.S. combat missions envisaged include: surface to air missiles to intercept, the incoming air to air missiles and fixed-wing machines and helicopters; shoot down high-altitude and low-flying cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, airships and other targets; track enemy satellites in orbit, with a laser to make a temporary loss of function.
U.S. Air Force’s airborne laser project after 10 years of development, made a series of major achievements. In particular, 10 January 2010 air test the success of anti-blocking, making the capture of airborne laser weapons, tracking and engagement demonstration trials to the real battle has taken an important step in the future may take on the U.S. military tactical ballistic the end of the missile defense mission.
ship-based laser weapons
“ship-borne laser area defense weapon” (LADS) system is being developed by U.S. company Raytheon has a close ability of low-cost tactical sea-based defense laser system. LADS system is in the existing “Phalanx” close-in system improved on the basis, the main advantage of the base of the original system and fire control radar, the original six 20 mm bore Su Shebao turn replaced by solid-state lasers .
LADS system is mainly used in the U.S. Navy’s “Aegis” missile destroyers and other surface warships and medium-sized end of defensive operations, may be from the sea and air strikes against multiple targets, including air-ship missiles, ship-ship missiles, submarines, missiles, rockets, artillery shells, unmanned aerial vehicles, helicopters, ships and other floating mines and small.
early as 2007, Raytheon announced that the test used in the LADS system IP 1 20-kW fiber laser at 1050 meters successfully shot down an unmanned drone.
Thus, carrier-based laser weapon system has demonstrated good performance and advantages, to sea journey was not too practical.
car laser weapons
U.S. Army’s “low-Sentinel” tactical laser weapons, developed by Northrop Grumman, can be loaded in containers, by the military tactical truck traction and achieve rapid mobility battlefield, effective ground and low-altitude intercept incoming targets, tactical mobility and strong.
The system uses a DF chemical laser, higher power, beam diameter of greater energy density distribution, pollution, overall performance is quite good, not only short-range tactical ballistic missile defense, close, medium and long-range shells, rockets, and can intercept helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles, cruise missiles and other offensive airship, and, for the field army, military facilities, residential or industrial areas to provide protection, protected area up to 8,000 square meters.
Israel Aircraft Industries has developed a similar “low-Sentinel” system of solid tactical laser weapons systems. Allegedly, this car is better than the overall performance of tactical lasers, “low-Sentinel”, optoelectronic can damage the anti-tank missile fire control system, and can track the missile after its launch lock and destroy its seeker and warhead.
