In recent years, the development of drones has brought a new problem for military tacticians to deal with. This aircraft has both large remote-controlled drones, such as the U.S. Mermaid Poseidon remote reconnaissance aircraft of the same size as a jet airliner, as well as a few pounds that can fly over city streets and are difficult to stop by active green laser pointer weapons and tactics Mini quadrotor helicopter.
In August 2014, the United States Navy took the lead in installing the first laser weapon on the “Ponce” amphibious dock transport ship, which mainly carried out shipborne laser weapon combat verification. The first two years have successfully completed the combat test of intercepting unmanned small boats. In mid-July this year, the Ponce conducted an air defense combat test of laser weapons against unmanned aerial vehicles in the Persian Gulf: first release an unmanned aerial vehicle.
Three shooters manipulated the Green Laser Pointer weapon to aim at the target, and the drone wings were instantly burned and fell into the sea. The entire striking process was precise, efficient and silent. This shows that laser weapons are very useful in terminal air defense and defense of “low, slow and small” air targets, and are effective defense weapons against low-altitude and ultra-low-altitude drone “wolf pack attacks”.
