The "top priority" of the U.S. military breakthroughs in succession, is about to approach the surroundings of China?

Among the various future equipment listed by the U.S. military, targeted weapons are regarded as "the top priority." With many years of invested investment, the Pentagon has recently received good news -a variety of laser weapons have made major breakthroughs.

India's "Eurasian Times" described it as "the top priority of the U.S. military -the distance between the high -energy laser weapon to achieve a big step."

It is reported that U.S. military giant, Nosropp Gelugman, announced on July 11 that it has completed the initial design of the prototype of 300 kW high -energy laser weapons. Robert Fleming, Vice President and General Manager of Nosorp Gruman's strategic space system, said: "This is an important step that combines high -power laser beams of multiple laser sources into single beams beams. Scaling to get maximum power. "

According to reports, if you want to obtain a higher beam laser, it is currently using the beam combination technology to integrate the beam of multiple laser sources. The Nosropp Gelugan company uses a related light beam combination (CBC) technology to increase the maximum power of high -energy laser weapons to more than 1,000 kilowatts, which will be tested at higher power later this year.

U.S. military giant Lockheed Martin chose another technical path -spectrum sync (SBC) technology and showed a series of laser weapon prototypes, which gradually increased the power: 30 watts and 60 kW, and finally in 2019 in 2019 It reached 100 kilowatts in October and plans to launch a 300 -kilowatt laser weapon prototype this year.

It is reported that laser weapon technology is one of the high priority development goals of the US military, especially after the US Congress requested the Pentagon to accelerate the development of targeted weapons (DEW) in early July. According to the plan, the U.S. Army plans to have two types of air defense laser weapon systems in 2022, including 50 kilowatt laser weapons installed on the Strek armored vehicle and 300 kilowatt weapons.

According to the plan, 50 kilowatt laser weapons are "targeted energy-DE-MSHOORAD", which are mainly used to intercept close-range rockets, artillery shells and drones. To deal with cruise missiles.

In fact, in addition to the US Army, the U.S. Navy and the US Air Force are also promoting their respective laser weapon projects. The U.S. Navy has installed a 30 -kilowatt and 150 -kilowatt high -energy laser system on the landing ship "Poce" and the "Portland", which is proved to be enough to fight equipment such as drones or micro -speedboats.

F-16 fighter aircraft uses machine-based laser pod to launch high-energy laser

The U.S. Air Force also obtained the airborne laser pods delivered by Lockheed Martin in February this year. It is said that its power is about 100 kilowatts and can be carried by fighters such as F-16 to quickly destroy the coming air defense missile or air-to-air missile. This is the smallest and lightest high -energy laser in the same power level developed by the company so far, which can easily mount on air platforms such as various fighters or larger transport aircraft. The company believes that this will become the "key benchmark" of actual combat airborne laser weapon systems.

It should be said that compared to the constant high supersonic missiles, the U.S. military is quite smooth in the development of laser weapons. It is worth noting that the U.S. Navy ’s“ Dewey ”destroyer, which was the first to install laser weapons, entered Japan to join the Seventh Fleet last year. Although the ship is equipped with "optical dazzling interceptors" instead of those high -energy laser weapons on the landing ship "Portland", it is still enough to interfere with or even destroy the equipment on the ship, fighter, missiles, drones and even submarines. Wait for the photoelectric and infrared detectors on various weapon platforms.

In the context of the current Pentagon's constant publicity of "Sino -US military confrontation", the United States is anxious to settle the destroyers equipped with laser weapons to enter Japan, which indicates that after the maturity of the sea, land and air high -energy laser weapon in the future, it will inevitably enter the surroundings of China as soon as possible. We must maintain high vigilance about this.
