The first impression of burning laser weapon
Many people see burning laser weapons from the film "star wars". Laser weapon as a new high technology weapons, have been paid more attention by many countries. Recently, India declared that they have made a significant advances in the field of laser weapon which is expected deployed in the next 5 years.The US have the ability to use a laser weapon to carry out the operation of the planet. India will become a member can develop laser weapon after the United States, Russia, Britain and Germany. Laser weapons are divided into two parts. Soft damage of laser weapons to the human eye or photoelectric sensors. Hard damage of laser weapons can directly damage the aircraft, missiles, etc..
Since the world's most powerful laser pointer weapon was invented, its potential as a weapon has been concerned by the military departments in the world. The United States and other developed countries invested a lot of manpower, material resources, financial resources to develop laser weapons. In 1960s and 70s, the main goal of the development work is to achieve a hard laser weapon damage. At that time they had developed a carbon dioxide gas dynamic laser, fluoride deuterium / hydrogen fluoride chemical lasers, and the high energy laser of metal and non metal materials, such as the development of laser precision target tracking device.
Development of American burning laser weapon
In 1979-1980, the US army launched a study called "the army Red Laser Pointer technology evaluation". This study led to the re-determination of the direction of the research of laser weapons, that is, the development of the new target is to provide short-term benefits of laser weapons. Therefore, the United States in 80s to develop a laser weapon to harm human eyes Laser "soft" killing out of the laboratory.Since 80s, the U.S. Army developed the vehicle "mistletoe chicken" laser weapon system. At the same time, the air force and the Navy also began "advanced optical jamming pod", "crown prince", "Blue Jays" plan, carry out the airborne soft killing laser weapons research work. Britain has developed shipborne laser blinding sight, and served in the Falklands War trial.
After entering the 90s, soft kill laser weapon began to go out of the laboratory, into the army equipment. During the Gulf War, the U.S. military shipped two 1000mw Laser Pointer weapon system to the battlefield, ready to combat trial, but because the ground fighting only 100 hours. The United States launched the latest called "handheld laser dissuader weapon". Britain has deployed more than and 140 laser weapon equipment in various types of ships. So far, countries around the world have developed a variety of soft killing laser weapons, there are portable and airborne, shipboard, vehicle type. The United States had studied the steering hard kill laser weapons. The United States and Israel jointly developed a "tactical high energy laser weapon system". The laser weapon is based on a high energy chemical laser and is used to target a tactical rocket. 1995 beauty, the two countries commenced with the "Nautilus" plan, 1996 February at the White Sands Missile Range using advanced infrared chemical laser successfully destroyed in flight. More than 21 rockets. Then, the two countries signed a tactical high energy laser weapon system technology demonstration agreement memorandum.
