Put in place of the ZRS. The United States announced the imminent equipping of the Navy with laser weapons

The United States Navy plans to install a laser weapon Helios on warships and thereby replace guns and rocket launchers. Reports about it Daily Star with reference to the American military.


Put in place of the ZRS. The United States announced the imminent equipping of the Navy with laser weapons


It is expected that Helios will replace the anti-aircraft artillery complex Phalanx MK-15 and will be able to protect ships from a variety of threats.

We are talking about lasers, which now have the power and beam structure needed to protect against unmanned aerial vehicles, small ships, as well as some short-range weapons
- noted the source of the publication.

Using Helios will free the US fleet from having to keep ammunition on board, the article says. However, experts believe that the American fleet is not yet ready for such innovations. Thus, according to Mark Gansinger, an expert at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments of the United States, an “adequate electrical supply” has not yet been developed for laser weapons.

As previously reported, the United States has noticeably increased funding for the armed forces amid growing tensions with China and Russia.

    Hyperboloid engineer Garik? With a trailer from a floating nuclear power plant. Just one was built and is being prepared for commissioning for the northern cities of the Russian Federation.

        NOT Gorina, but Garina. This correspondent Dima Gorin made a career with lumberjacks. To the cinema. Just great. Let them take everything off their boxes, replacing IT with all the flashlights. Range to horizon from installation height above water = 30km. Light over the horizon will not wrap. And we are their Caliber. Because of the horizon.

          Yes, and the calibers must make physical contact with the ship, but from beyond the horizon they cannot do this

              As the guide in Georgia told, when we are tourists there, in the USSR still, if you try this wine now, then in the evening you will see the Eiffel Tower. Of course it is possible. If you hold on to the bottle well.

                As practice in X³: Terran Conflict has shown, anti-aircraft laser systems are the best solution for short-range defense against missiles, drones and fighters.

                        Smoke very well attenuates the laser, the reflective coating can perfectly reflect! In order to exclude reflection and scattering of a laser beam, a nuclear-pumped X-ray laser is needed - but humanity is far from that ... Therefore, couch strategists do not make plans!

                        Dear strategists and the rest of the hedgehog with them, including us! Look carefully at the presentation by Israeli analyst Jacob Kedmi on the new Peresvet laser complex in Russia! Its power will pleasantly surprise you! And do not write fables about the possibilities of laser weapons - it only at the beginning of its development has a lot of shortcomings!

                  A system that will shoot at calibers absolutely does not care where the carrier is. The main thing is that the caliber itself is included in its radius of destruction. And he will come in, he has nowhere to go, the loaf of gigaton is not vigorous on it

          Hooked. There was a movie. It was called "Prize." Extreme turbidity. But ideologically correct. They drove from work to the House of Culture for viewing. During working hours. The whole plant, the film was driven to DK for a week. And they didn’t sell tickets. While the whole plant did not look at all the shifts, there were no tickets. Under the signature of the heads of units. I then worked as the head of the standardization department. IT'S BEFORE SUCH FOLLOWING! To such cheap agitation. They threatened to not give the thirteenth salary if you did not go to the cinema. Bullshit.

        Pumping has two to three orders of magnitude more power than the beam itself. Laser efficiency below the baseboard, if you consider the total power.

      I think they have this thing about the same. The power of destroyer generators should be asked by specialists. I, not special, think that for each flashlight you need your own generator.

      Megawatt ray, which can damage the design of a supersonic piece of iron. In a split second. That's what this flashlight should be able to do. Shoot quickly finding a target, from a swinging deck to a moving object, and have time to retarget another ten. Blind homing devices, maybe there can be, maybe .... But if they have eyes. Optics. And if they have a bunch of different aiming devices. and they work at the same time? Judging by the trolley in which he is hidden, the laser can not hit the entire hemisphere. Forward on the nose.

We have explained, long ago, the area of ​​a circle pi-er-square. Here is a square and knocks. Sensors that determine and adjust your dynamics in dynamics do not exist. And even more so, a lot, at the same time and at one point. It is necessary to reach such nonsense. Try to determine the angular error in order to do this.

          At a distance of 5 km, and the desire to keep the beam in the limit of 10 mm, it is necessary to maintain an accuracy of aim of 0,2 arc seconds. The most sophisticated stepper motors have an angle of one step thousands of times larger. To use reducers is to have backlash. And incredibly slow aiming. What to take from him is the exam.

        I understand you perfectly. Not having the opportunity to organize one large and powerful beam, they decided to use the principle of "interferometer vice versa." This is just understandable. I told you a little about something else. If we take and “cut off” the laser beam immediately after the “muzzle cut” of the installation, we will see a single wave front. No homogeneity. If we do the same thing about 1000 meters from the "muzzle", then we will not see a united front. And we will see a certain picture of the “antinodes” and the power of radiation, similar to ripples in the water. So, this "ripple" entails a serious loss of power with distance. Obviously, the guys from DARPA were able to select the radiation spectrum least affected by this effect.

    This is not the most pressing issue. The atmosphere is the main "enemy" of laser weapons, especially at sea. Fog, saturated vapors (moreover, the spectral transmittance depends on the thuy heap of factors, starting from the time of the year, ending with the chemical composition of the sea overboard). In addition, problems with aiming at the target, a delicate optical system, which is contraindicated in the vibration of ship mechanisms, and artillery shooting - this generally knocks down the alignment of all optics. IMHO, laser weapons are effective only in space, and even then, kinetic will give him a head start.

      All of these lasers, railguns, and beam weapons are a way to engage a potential enemy in wild financial expenses.
      I was wondering. to try to warm up a flying piece of iron at a distance of 5 km, you probably need to have an aiming point of no more than 5 mm. And keep your sight for a while. But it is to control the guidance mechanics within tenths of arc seconds. At the same time, keep the beam following the movement of the target and compensate for the pitching, which affects any marine vessel.
      I think these estimates are enough to make sure that the task is impossible. Then what can this device do, and what tasks will it assign?

To fight in any other weather is immoral, as it violates the human right to hit the target accurately. Violators of the law will be severely punished with a laser beam enveloping the terrain.
