The Canadian Army recently announced that its high-energy laser research and development has broken the 100-kilowatt bottleneck. Currently, the Canadian Army is studying the application of this laser pointer technology to the military field, hoping to use this high-energy laser to deal with improvised explosive devices and unexploded ordnance more safely, as well as to respond to the threat of unmanned military equipment such as drones.
In addition, the Canadian Army is still studying how to deal with enemy laser weapons to ensure that the Canadian Army will not be deterred by enemy technology on the future battlefield. The technology currently in use is to use smoke to interfere or block the enemy’s laser beam efficiency.
Canadian defense and military researchers began to develop a green laser pointer weapon called CO2-TEA at the military test base in Quebec in the late 1960s. Later, it also had many applications in the industry. In the mid-1980s, they began to develop liquid cooling. A 10-watt laser, this kind of laser will ignite a piece of paper or wood for a long time.
