The German company successfully tested its newly developed high-energy laser effector at a military training facility on the northern coast of Germany, marking an important step towards the practical application of the technology. In this test, the system completed a series of performance tests in real environments for the first time. The original intention of this test is to test the beam pointing and tracking system of the effector against the simulated aerial target. The target is pre-positioned and irradiated by the laser pointer target illuminator.
This test confirmed that our laser effector has a high technological maturity, which will promote the deployment of our laser effector. According to the project director of the German company. In the test, the function of the entire system and the performance of the improved tracking system were evaluated. Under different climatic conditions, such as heavy rain and strong wind, the system can successfully capture all targets and implement tracking. In the night test, the prototype also proved its ability to capture targets under low visibility conditions. In other tests, the laser effector team also demonstrated the ability to resist swarm attacks, which requires the effector to be able to quickly switch the target of attack between targets coming in different directions.
Prior to conducting the current on-site evaluation, the Air Force Office successfully led the operation of laser and high-power microwave test activities at the missile range in New Mexico in the fall of 2018 and at the mobile fire integration in the fall of 2019. Experimental activities in Oklahoma Of Fort Hill.
Overseas field assessments allow us to understand directed energy as the ability to counter drones. This gives us a better understanding of military use, reliability and sustainability, training requirements and the implementation of existing basic defenses. Kyrgyz said. According to Kyrgyzstan, in the next 12 months, the Air Force Research Laboratory will determine how the Air Force will use high-energy laser weapon systems and high-power microwaves to deal with small drones to move forward. He said: The intent of these systems will be operational within 12 months of the combatant commander.
In actual combat, the "iron beam" laser weapon system emits two strong lasers from two launch vehicles and superimposes them on the target aiming point to accumulate greater laser energy to achieve the goal of effectively killing the target. Since 2014, conflicts have continued in the Gaza region, and Israel has been hit by a large number of rockets. This shows that Israel’s opponents have been able to take advantage of the inherent technical weaknesses of the “Patriot-3” system and the “Iron Dome” system to carry out saturation air strikes by launching low-cost weapons such as unmanned aerial vehicles, cruise missiles, and rockets.
When the "Iron Dome" system is difficult to complete the interception mission, the "Iron Beam" high-energy green laser pointer weapon with its compact and efficient, low operational cost, and easy-to-guarante strong laser effect, in one fell swoop to reverse the Israeli army's tactical interception and strategic The double situation of being passively beaten. In future operations, the two anti-missile methods of missile anti-missile and laser anti-missile will be used in conjunction with complementary advantages. Under severe weather conditions or when non-linear kills are required, the "Iron Dome" air defense missile will be used to intercept; Under weather conditions or when straight shooting can be carried out, it is handed over to laser weapons to effectively counter the threat of salvos and group attacks from drones or precision guided munitions.
