Laser cannon is a kind of high energy burning laser weapon, which is used to damage the target or make it fail directly. According to the operational use, this new type of weapon is divided into two categories: Tactical Laser Weapon and strategic laser weapon. Tactical laser weapons use laser as the energy, like conventional weapons that kill enemy personnel, destroyed tanks, aircraft, etc. This weapon is mainly represented by a laser gun and a laser cannon, which can emit a strong laser beam to attack the enemy. At present, there has been a ruby pocket laser gun. But it can burn the skin burned clothes, at a distance of several meters away, imperceptibly deadly.
American warshop laser cannonAmerican warship test a 100mw Laser Pointer cannon in the sea to destroy a target ship, that is an important milestone in the U.S. development of a new generation of offshore laser weapon,and will sonn complete the development.U. S. Navy warship used a laser gun mounted on the deck to launch mobile unmanned boats. The target ship engine gradually burning, then engulfed in flames.The power of the laser cannon is particularly awesome , it is called "the king of the gun" ". It is mainly divided into a folding type laser cannon,stationary laser cannons and light laser cannons. Laser cannon can launch 1000 times "light bomb" in a second, the light is the powerful ". Laser cannon relies on the distant warning radar to determine the direction, distance, altitude and speed of the flight of the enemy missiles or aircraft. After the rapid processing of the electronic computer, laser weapon can hit the target accurately.
The test on behalf of the United States Navy has combine the laser system with battleship radar for the first time, which is the first time launch from a moving ship platform . It showed 200mw Laser Pointer cannons increased the usefulness greatly. U. S. Navy refused to disclose the laser cannon range and firepower, and other details, only to say that the test distance to miles per unit."It is very important to convert the energy into a weapon for the future" Carle, director of the United States Navy. You can use laser guns shot down unmanned aircraft, cruise missiles, and ballistic missile. In the future, I could see the laser cannons as the equipment of the cruiser and destroyer. Developers pointed out that laser weapons can not only attack sea targets, but also to combat aircraft or shore targets.
Omnipotent laser cannonLaser cannons can even attack cruise missiles, but the amount of energy needed to reach several hundred kilowatts.
US military also developed a new laser cannon without any laser medium, will be able to generate kilowatts of energy. The U.S. military in February had tested this gun, used the world's most powerful laser pointer to manufacture the electron beam, can shoot 6 meters per second of steel.Project Manager Department of Morrison said that video shows the laser slowly burned a hole in the target ship engine: "unlike the movie star wars. The purpose of our design of laser cannons is to diversify the defense weapon, not to replace the existing weapons."
Laser cannon costs 98 million and a half years to complete the research and development.
