In the United States, preparing for tests of the Stryker armored personnel carrier with combat laser installations

In the United States, they announced the beginning of preparations for testing the updated Stryker armored personnel carriers. These tests were planned to begin earlier, but the sanitary-epidemic situation made adjustments. The Strikers' update is that they are equipped with a combat laser weapon... It is argued that the Stryker armored personnel carrier with laser cannons should eventually become part of the short-range air defense forces. In particular, the power of a combat laser (DE-SHORAD) may be sufficient, for example, to destroy small unmanned aerial vehicles that do not have a high speed of movement.

For these news seized on in Poland. So, the columnist Jakub Palowski writes about "the likelihood that the Stryker armored personnel carrier with laser cannons will be deployed in Poland." According to the Polish observer, the United States may deliver them for testing on Polish territory.

This assumption was made on the basis of the fact that the Americans had previously announced their readiness to transfer several armored personnel carriers to Poland. At the same time, we were not talking about any specific variants of armored vehicles. But the Polish press decided to speculate behind the American command, expressing the idea that it was the Strykers with US laser installations that would be sent to Poland for testing.

Earlier in the United States, it was noted that in addition to countering light low-speed UAVs, promising laser weapons on Strykers will be used against artillery shells and mortar mines. At the same time, it is planned to use a new computer system for calculating the flight trajectories of one or another ammunition in order to correct the effects of a laser beam on a target. The question of how effective this effect can be, for example, against an 82-mm mine, is still an open question.

The US command plans to integrate the capabilities of the Stryker armored personnel carrier, equipped with a DE-SHORAD combat laser, with the M1097 Avenger short-range self-propelled air defense system to improve the air defense system of specific objects.

Let us remind you that the first country in the world in which military lasers were adopted is Russia. We are talking about the Peresvet complexes.

As I understand it, TV homing heads can also be "burned out" ... and if so, then there is a sense in their appearance here

Psheki dispersed like jackals ..))) You can't install a power plant with good power on the armored personnel carrier, therefore, only use candy wrappers with their laser ..

Nu-nu ... Compare the power plants of the striker and aircraft. If the plane is unable to fire 3 to XNUMX shots in a row, then the striker will die for half an hour for the next pumping. Or then it's just a laser pointer with Ali, to blind someone ...

It depends on what you want from the laser installation, if you shoot down a projectile or mine, then yes, if you disable the seeker of these shells, ATGM or "kamikaze", then no

You reread the title. Combat - destroy by default (for example, how the tail was annealed from the target's plane). And to blind - I repeat, it is easier to put a Chinese pointer on the homing installation, it will also blind. Remember the stories with the pilots. AND? The price tag of the pointer is several times less than the bullshit on the striker.

A "Shtora" and not a laser, an IR illuminator.
You read about the 1K11 Stiletto system, it was our laser installation in the 80s

What's the difference? I gave you an example, that the "curtain" blinds and leads away. Those. its main task is to let the tank survive. Stryker was given the same task - to survive, only with the help of a laser on a homing system. Now you can return to the discussion above - and where am I going wrong there?

No, it does not dazzle, due to the fact that two headlights work, it knocks down the algorithm of the projectile's operation ... it is "lost"

It should be installed now, but only expanded, to allow all combat vehicles to "survive"

Quote: kot423

Yes, the fact that when "burning out" the GOS does not require such a powerful power source and long recharge, for its next pumping of the laser installation.

[kot423]

Quote: svp67

when "burning out" the GOS

Okay, he burned out the GOS, then what? After all, the projectile will not fall, the combat filling will not lose - to tear the striker's claws out of place? Is the power enough to start as a Formula 1 car?

[svp67]

Quote: kot423

Okay, he burned out the GOS, then what?

And the fact that without a seeker, modern ammunition will miss 95%, since it will not be able to accurately keep the direction of flight, it is forced to steer all the time, keeping the target in the crosshair.

Burning cast iron with a laser and at a mine speed is real?

They will not help against kamikaze drones and guided mini bombs, and you cannot put air defense systems in every unit.

And how it will help, especially against the GCI, Stryker with combat laser, this is an air defense system, not self-defense. KAZ for technology will help, but still need air defense.

[Ros 56]

The thing is certainly good, this laser, but has anyone seen a battlefield without dust and smoke. Let them read Borodino. Although I fully admit, someone will be lucky and the laser beam will stumble upon something.

[Vasiliev S.]

At such powers, dust is not a problem, its mass on the beam path is negligible and will evaporate.

The platform becomes universal, a jack of all trades.
It is necessary to have a look while discussing, there is nothing special.

The most important thing about Striker - take a closer look - four radars on the sides.
This is half the cost of the entire car.
And the weapon - you can put any options.

what pump? it's kind of like a fiber-optic solid-state laser, it's about rechargeable batteries. As far as their capacity is enough. this laser is in any case continuous and not pulsed. and ours put on a hurricane (or what base is there?) a 150 kW chemical laser. probably oxygen-iodine think. this one does have a limited number of shots. exactly as much as there are reagents in the cans. well, plus the batteries, so for any system it turns out more cumbersome than the striker

[Mountain shooter]

If such vehicles appear in the troops in massive quantities, it will be necessary to cover (spray) the drone hulls, as well as mines and PCs with a thin layer of aluminum, with a reflection coefficient of 90%, which will require at least three times the radiation power. And this is not easy ...

[Vadim237]

If they put a 50 kilowatt on them, this aluminum spraying will melt uselessly within 2 seconds.

Great. Of course. Only he must be kept on this mine during these 2 seconds. And she flies. 100 meters per second for sure. Anything is possible, of course. But very difficult.

unless civilian quadcopters, shock drones are not threatened, the distances are not the same

What should the state think, on the borders of which, on the borders of which, they will test, the weapon of the state with reading our enemy - only one thing - to destroy, warning the people of Poland (base people, therefore with a little one) and all this shebla - .. it is not necessary to warn us will shit until we wake up - my proposal, I am not a member of Volodka Zhirinovsky's party, but he is right - - three days of all NATO bases from Poland, then, then extinguish, with high-power missiles, all clusters of NATO bases, and so on a thread - three days, in order for the population to leave, serving these bases - well, how much to be gorse - say openly and figachte, understandably looking after everyone. Do not forget, until, you, do not snarl at you will write, and Poland is the most suitable option.

Kmk, very aptly invented, a continuous laser is something, but this is clearly a provocation - everyone is doing means of destruction with homing, and these, on the contrary, are a target with homing. Stopudovo what is it planned
