In addition, the output power of the green laser pointer weapon is mostly difficult to reach the weapon-level standard of 100 kilowatts, its beam tracking and control accuracy is not high, the jitter is large when irradiating the target, and the time required to damage the target is longer, especially for manned fighters and High-speed moving targets such as missiles are difficult to meet the requirements of fast and precise strike on the battlefield.
Professor Wang Qun, a military expert at the National Security and Military Strategy Research Center of the National University of Defense Technology, pointed out: “This has led to many current countermeasures against laser weapons, such as letting targets such as missiles and cannonballs spin during flight, releasing aerosols around aircraft and other targets, Smoke, water mist, etc., thereby reducing the killing distance and effectiveness of laser weapons, limiting their application scope, deployment methods, and task diversity.
These issues have somewhat affected the actual combatization of Green Laser Pointer weapons. At the Abu Dhabi International Defense Exhibition held in February this year, China exhibited the Silent Hunter, a low-altitude laser air defense system mainly used to intercept low-altitude drones. According to the brochure distributed on site, the standard output of the “silent hunter” is 30 kilowatts.
