The U. S. Navy development of light vehicle borne laser weapons against the UAV threats

in new network on 24 June, according to Cheap college football jerseys Chinese national defense science and technology information network reported, America Office of naval research is developing a lightweight mobile laser weapon system, in order to cope with the UAV threats.

at the beginning of 6, America Office of Naval Research Grant signed a development of vehicular laser air defense weapon is the "mobile ground-based air defense directed energy" (GBAD) development contract. This summer, American Navy will be the first to Cheap nfl Jerseys solid-state laser systems (LaWS) assembly to a surface ship.

· Lee recently GBAD project manager; Mastroianni said, GBAD is designed to replace the traditional fire, to help USA Marines against UAV threats, he stressed: "mobile defense the most effective means, it is difficult to be locked in the process of moving, thus not vulnerable to attack." The system can be assembled in a Hummer or joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) on the back seat, but the factory configuration of the equipment nfl jerseys china is not vehicle.

· Li; Mastroianni said: "a miniature version of GBAD is not the sea based laser weapon, the team faced technical challenges completely different." The remote path based laser equipment on sea, while the GBAD concerned about the high humidity, dust, dust, in response to the threat of uav. Although the two team cooperation, but the configuration is quite different. Specifically, the GBAD has a completely different type of laser, beam steering, energy and cooling system. The difference between the two are the following points: 1, the different emphasis, the Navy laser weapon system (LaWS) more attention to reduce the physical space restrictions; 2, sea based laser weapon system Jerseys From China has enough installation space, and Humvees back row space is very limited; 3, GBAD laser emission device itself only suitcase size, while the maximum the challenge is power and cooling system.

GBAD laser system requires strict control of operating temperature, working under high temperature conditions is a challenge. The laser will release a lot of heat energy in a very short period of time, must be fast transfer heat to the heat reservoir, Cheap basketball ncaa jerseys then slowly release. Therefore, America Navy invested $1000000 to develop the most advanced cooling technology, the heat storage and management system design, construction and testing of portable and efficient cooling system to adapt the vehicle borne laser weapons.

for the laser system itself, USA Office of Naval Research awarded Raytheon $11000000, a car high-energy laser system, the laser technology based on DoD high energy laser Joint Technology Office (HEL-JTO) "durable electron laser initiative" (RELI) development. Lee · Mastroianni said: "the proposal structure Raytheon is very compact, shape, size and scalability to meet the project requirements".

also USA, office of Naval Research a beam steering development contract with L3 communication company, the contract to the same "durable electron laser initiative" (RELI) as the basis. American Office of naval research plans to conduct a three act in the next few years.
