The UK Intends to Test Warship High-Energy Laser Weapon

Laser Weapon Defense Exhibition on 2017 in London

According to Chinese national defense science and technology information network reported that the British Royal Navy plans to test the high powered laser weapons on surface ships in 2020.The US Navy has begun to try to attack enemy warships with laser weapons, on the basis of the British hope, high-energy laser weapons research is more portable, efficient, threatening, labor-saving.This year, the British Ministry of defense has ordered the British defence science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) research laser weapon prototype.

They should accelerate the related technology research , technology can promote change operational mode of the Navy, and one of these advantages is the high energy burning laser weapons technology innovation.Bella pointed out, this does not require conventional ammunition high-energy weapons.Each shot cost can be controlled in a few pence, and provides a solution to solve the missile development cost spiral, and reduce the supply chain requirements effectively. According to DSTL, the British Royal Navy plans to carry out targeted in 2020 before the weapon test.

Chinese laser weapon

The United States can verify the report basically true news, according to Chinese national publications published reports, probably in 2005, Chinese 10 kW class vehicle ground chemical laser gun conducted combat blinding test successfully.Probably in 2005, China showed their 300mw Laser Pointer weapon technology from abroad.Attacking US satellite test, let China become the second over ground-based laser blinding national .In the experiment, the laser weapon irradiating a laser beam to the ground from 600 kilometers of space, but also has strong power available, which shows the strength of Chinese laser weapon.

In fact, as early as 50 years ago in the "640 project", China planning research contents of Military Laser Pointer anti satellite weapons.Although the project has been terminated, but China laser weapons can meet the basic need of the development of military large laser cannon after so many years of hard work.There have been rumors that, although Chinese in nuclear weapons technology still has a certain distance with Russia, but in the laser weapon technology, China is strong than any country country, even compared to the United States, there are many places leading China.To verify the rumors, in about 10 years in August 2006, when the United States reported a The Pentagon spy satellite flew over China above, by laser irradiation from China inland, has lost short reconnaissance ability, that is to say, Chinese conduct blinding foundation test by strong laser.
