Countries are speeding up the development of green laser pointer weapons. Although laser weapons have problems such as being easily reflected, bulky, and limited range, countries around the world have accelerated their research and development. In the United States Marine, Marine, Air, and Marine Corps, the development of naval laser weapons has been at the forefront. In the latest test, the U.S. Navy detected the distance, bearing, and speed of the drone by radar from 3.2 kilometers away, and quickly transmitted it to the laser weapon, firing a 30-kilowatt laser beam, and burned four 300-hour-speed at the same time in a few seconds. Kilometers of drones.
In terms of the army, in the first half of 2017, Lockheed delivered a 60-kilowatt laser weapon to the US Army for testing. During the test, a 58-kilowatt single beam was generated, setting a world record for this laser weapon. In the second half of 2017, the US Army’s Space and Missile Defense Command used the 30-kilowatt “Athena” fiber laser at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico to win multiple drones at once.
It is reported that this year, the U.S. Army intends to test the newly developed laser weapon system. It is possible to install three 100 kilowatt laser weapon systems on three 10-ton, 8-wheel heavy trucks, and it is also possible to install five 50 kilowatt green laser pointers The system was mounted on the Stryker armored vehicle. Relevant sources of the US Army Research and Technology Agency said that from 2023, high-energy lasers will be developed to deal with artillery shells, rockets, drones, cruise missiles and so on.
