Reporter Wang Can Intern Yi Nani Comprehensive Report
According to a report by the CNN on July 18, the U.S. Navy conducted laser weapon tests in the Persian Gulf. The laser weapon system (LaWS, Laser Weapon System) is the world's first active military laser weapon. It is currently deployed on USS Ponce, an American amphibious transport ship carrier, and can quickly hit the target with 1 shot. Only spend 1 dollar.
Laser weapons are weapons that use high-powered lasers to accurately shoot long-range targets or to defend against missiles. According to CNN, the biggest advantage of this laser weapon system is that its operating speed is itself the speed of light, which is unmatched by other weapons. In other words, its speed is 50,000 times that of an intercontinental ballistic missile.
"We (the U.S. Navy) do not have to consider the trajectory of the target, and we don't have to worry about the wind. We don't have to worry about anything, because we can hit the target at lightning speed," said Cale Hughes, operations officer for the US laser weapons system.
In order to test the power of LaWS, the U.S. Navy launched a drone. The laser weapon quickly locked in and aimed at the target, the drone wing was instantly burned and the fuselage crashed into the sea.
This attack is silent and no one sees how it happened. Hughes said: "The electromagnetic wave band it runs is invisible to the naked eye, so you can't see the beam; it also has no sound, it's completely silent, but it has incredible power."
In addition, the U.S. Navy stated that the weapon is very accurate and can reduce unnecessary injuries during operations.
Christopher Wells, Captain of the Ponce, said: "I can use it to aim at any point on the target and destroy the target if necessary. It can reduce extra damage. I no longer have to worry about gunfire. Breaking the target may harm or destroy things that I don't want to hurt or destroy."
"The accuracy of this system is higher than that of bullets. This is not like other weapons our defense industry has - highly specialized weapon systems that can only be used to combat one of air, water and land targets. The laser weapon is a very versatile weapon that can be used to strike a variety of targets," said Christopher Wells.
According to CNN, the operation of this $40 million laser weapon system requires only a small generator power supply and three operators. It does not need a multi-million-dollar missile and does not require any ammunition. . As for its cost of use, Hughes said, "It takes about 1 US dollar per shot."
The US military began testing the laser weapon system in 2009. In 2012, the system completed a sea test on the "Arleigh Burke" guided missile destroyer Dewey (DDG 105). From July to September 2012, the system was temporarily installed on the flight deck of the Dewey destroyer. During the test, three UAVs were successfully shot down. In August 2014, LaWS was deployed on the deck of the Ponce bridge and then began a sea trial.
At present, LaWS is mainly used to destroy aircraft and small ships. "It is designed to withstand the threat of air and ground." Hughes said, "In the past three years, it has proved very effective."
In fact, the U.S. Navy is developing a more powerful second-generation laser weapon system, and the new system may target a more important target: missiles. However, related tasks are confidential. When the CNN reporter asked Wales if the current laser weapon system could shoot missiles, he simply said, "Maybe."
