Chapter 1,339: Taking the lead in applying laser interception weapons to ships
Look, he vomited something out. Li Weiguo nodded, Wu Hao smiled and cursed at the two of them, and then continued to ask.
Is it the same as the lightweight field short-range air defense laser interception system you demonstrated this time?
Wu Hao nodded when he heard this and said: "Basically the principle and structure are the same, but we will definitely make relevant adjustments in some aspects.
For example, in terms of power supply system, if we want to drive high-power laser weapons, our new lithium battery will not work. So we use our super solid-state battery and the latest flywheel battery.
In this way, we can ensure the normal use of this high-power laser weapon. Moreover, it can be miniaturized and lightweight."
What is the damage effect of this laser long-range interception weapon, and what is the defense radius? Cheng Haifeng's heart moved and he asked immediately.
Li Weiguo glanced at Cheng Haifeng, and then turned to Wu Hao, waiting for his answer. The two of them knew each other's thoughts, but the important thing now is not to divide these, but to hope to dig out more from Wu Hao.
Opportunities for valuable things are rare.
Wu Hao responded with a smile: "The damage effect is not bad. It can damage unmanned target drones and missiles with metal skins within a distance of 80 kilometers.
When dealing with large aerial targets, such as manned fighter jets, basically 5 to 10 seconds can melt their metal skin and some parts, thereby achieving the damage effect.
If it is irradiated to vital parts, the time may be shorter.
And theoretically speaking, from the time we discover the target to shooting it down, we can continue to irradiate it without any mopping.
In this way, the success rate of intercepting these air targets can be greatly improved.
In addition, this kind of laser weapon is extremely targeted at the optical instruments and equipment on fighter planes and missiles. As long as it is irradiated, the imaging sensors in these instruments and equipment will burn out, thus blinding the fighter planes and missiles and losing their attack targets.
If the radiation hits the pilot, the pilot's skin will be burned, and it is difficult to heal the burned skin. If the radiation burns the eyes, it will be 100% blind.
From this aspect, its lethality is still very impressive.
The maximum distance we have tested so far is that we can intercept and destroy an unmanned target drone within a distance of 120 kilometers.
As for the final result, this remains to be further verified.”
Upon hearing his introduction, Li Weiguo and Cheng Haifeng's faces were filled with excited smiles.
Li Weiguo asked him impatiently: "What you just talked about was the interception of a single air target, but if it is to intercept multiple targets, or a group of aircraft, or a missile attack group, is this laser interception weapon of yours?
It's a bit difficult and difficult to deal with.
If one target is illuminated for 5 to 10 seconds, if there are too many targets, it will be impossible to intercept them."
Upon hearing Li Weiguo's question, Wu Hao did not answer in a hurry. Instead, he smiled and took a sip of coffee, and then spoke slowly.
"If traditional laser weapons do have such a problem, we have solved this problem. First, we use pulse laser beams to irradiate the target, which can greatly reduce the irradiation time of the laser weapon on the target.
, and can also enhance the power of laser interception weapons.
Secondly, we also make use of our composite lens technology and equip a universal prism device in front of the laser weapon lens.
In this way, within a certain angle range, the pulse laser beam can be emitted from a specific angle without turning, thereby attacking the target.
With the combination of mechanical rotation and compound prism, the response speed and capture aiming speed of our long-range laser weapon can be improved by not a little bit compared to the traditional aiming method.
Even, if necessary, this conforming prism can split the pulsed laser beam into several beams and then attack multiple targets at the same time."
Anyway, let me just say that this kid has something in his belly. Li Weiguo pointed at Wu Hao and started laughing and scolding him.
Hahahaha, after what you said, I am very interested in your laser long-range interception weapon and this compound prism technology.
Cheng Haifeng smiled at Wu Hao and said: "Everyone knows that shipborne air defense has always been the top priority of our maritime research institute.
At present, the biggest threat faced by maritime ships is not on the sea surface or underwater, but in the sky.
Fighters have a natural active advantage over battleships, and the same goes for missiles. They can be said to be professional killers of surface ships.
How to deal with attacks by these fighters, or missiles, is also the focus of current research by the navies of various countries.
Compared with decades ago, today's naval ship air defense technology has made a qualitative leap forward.
It has changed from simple naval gun air defense a few decades ago to the current composite multi-layer air defense technology of accelerated missile launchers and decoy bombs.
The interception rate against enemy fighters and missiles is also much higher than before, and the battlefield survival rate of ships has also been improved.
However, with the advent of new generations of missiles, especially supersonic missiles, smart missiles, and ballistic anti-ship missiles, combat effectiveness is also constantly improving and is by no means the level it used to be.
How to defend against the attacks of these advanced missiles has become a difficult problem that navies of all countries are scrambling to study.
The idea of using laser weapons for interception was actually proposed decades ago, but it has never been applicable.
Why? Laser weapons are large in size, have limited damage effects, and consume huge amounts of energy. Even ships do not have such a large space to consume so much energy for laser weapons.
However, with the continuous improvement of laser weapon technology in recent years, countries have begun research in this area again.
The most radical among them is naturally the world's naval overlord, the US Navy. Judging from the exact intelligence data, some of their advanced ships have been equipped with relevant laser interception weapons.
Therefore, we must not lag behind in this area, we must work hard to catch up, so that we can not be threatened by them."
Having said this, Cheng Haifeng took a breath and smiled at Wu Hao: "After you demonstrated this composite lens technology, we began to contact you and conduct research on a new generation of laser weapons.
However, the progress has not been very smooth, just like the problems we mentioned before.
Now I know that you are making good progress in this area, I am really excited. I also sincerely hope to cooperate with you in this area. Let us give priority to applying this laser long-range interception weapon to naval ships."
Hey, you old Cheng, you can't cut off your words. When Li Weiguo heard this, he immediately stopped working.
