US users comment on admiral's proposal to equip Zumwalt destroyers with a laser cannon

126

In the United States, they continue to look for options for the use of ultra-expensive stealth destroyers of the Zumwalt class. Recall that initially the US Navy announced its readiness to order 32 such warships, but when it turned out that only one cost about $ 4 billion, the program was cut sharply. At the moment in the line-up fleet 2 destroyers of this class - USS Zumwalt itself (DDG-1000) and USS Michael Monsoor (DDG-1001). Two more are expected.

The commander of the US Navy's naval operations, Admiral Mike Gilday, meanwhile, made a new proposal on how stealth destroyers could be used. According to him, it is necessary weapon, which will cause damage to warships and critical coastal infrastructure of the enemy. For this, according to Guilday, a combat laser weapon - a laser cannon - should be installed on board the Zumwalt-class destroyers.



According to the American admiral, if a laser cannon is installed on the Zamvolts, "their combat power will significantly increase." The admiral also proposes to turn destroyers of this class into "test sea platforms for promising hypersonic weapons, which can subsequently be equipped with warships."

Recall that earlier in the United States planned to equip the Zumwalt with an electromagnetic gun. About these plans with a pile of all kinds of weapons in the United States, users joke:

The admiral offered to install a laser cannon. And where is the electromagnetic gun?

We can offer to install on our newest destroyers whatever the admirals can think of. From hypersonic missiles to combat lasers. But then where are these combat lasers and where are the hypersonic missiles? So far only uses a regular ship cannon.

Recall that not so long ago, the stealth destroyer was indeed taken out to sea, where, during maneuvers, using all of its weapons, it used a conventional ship's cannon to shoot at targets on the water. Then it caused surprise, because the tasks of Zamvolta were originally defined as striking enemy targets (including ships) from outside the affected area.

    There was a rail thrower, a gun at 100500 km, now there is a laser. When they do, let them inform me, I give up Gazprom's lighters when I light it, I switch to the Zumwalt lighter. Yes, no one thought that the "Kings of the Quays" were built.

              Because they are introducing the 5th block, and LRASM, first of all, saturate aviation. But nothing needs to be changed in the Mk-57 to put them there. Only Berks and Ticonderogs can carry effectively, but the latter are living out their days, and the former will soon have to be changed to a new project for anyone.

              Sea Wolfe, who did not go into series production, was also bothered, but no one has ever built a boat like him, not even the Americans themselves.

        The thermal one would be even safer ... The laser can only work in line of sight (well, if the beam is not bent :), with such a range of fire, only the Kalash will probably not reach the entogo Zamvolt, and the rest, in my opinion, will drown it to the horizon :)) And the heat can be used whenever you want.

    Zumvolts are designed with a significant excess of generated
    electricity. Especially for the high power weapons of the future.
    For special hyper-missiles, it's stupid to use them.
    Sumvolts already have 82 slots for longer and "thicker" missiles,
    than on Berks.
    But it is very easy to put a powerful air defense / missile defense laser.

You yourself admit that even the shells for the gun are expensive - 800000 bucks, as far as I remember, that the ship did not become a mass series precisely because of its unnecessary complexity, unnecessary for a battleship! Let's say it would be a commercial project, a reserve for the future for the civilian fleet, of course, innovations, new technologies, this will be in demand.

Zumvolts are missing only shells for the guns and for the existing CDs, still tactical ballistic missiles, both of which are in development, and at least the latter will be put into service within five lathes, and it obviously takes 30-40 years that way. Three pennants are available, this is the standard of the first small series, and they did not begin to make a large one clearly because of the high cost of the project. For if they made a large one, the projectile would not cost 800K and would also go into series.

              Alexey, it's not just about the ability to launch rockets. The fact is that the ship turns out to be problematic, expensive to repair when damaged. First of all, this is its superstructure made of balsa, any rocket will turn it into dust. It is a complex, capricious, and expensive building, just like the zumwalts themselves. It was necessary to build one, fully arm, check in a military campaign, draw conclusions, and not build three for no one knows why, when even one does not know what to arm.

                That one, that three - about one money. Because, starting from the second, with 3-D design and modular assembly, the cost price drops significantly.
                This can be seen in the production of Ford-class aircraft carriers.

                Turn back into history.
                To the history of naval battles.
                Most of the projects of new battleships, cruisers, dreadnoughts, battleships
                were either unsuccessful or unsuccessful.
                They were drowned by submarines or aircraft, they exploded on mines, cellars exploded,
                they were shattered by enemy shells of a larger caliber, they ran into ambushes ..

                When damaged, Ford, Sea Wolf is hardly cheaper, and if you take it on par with the budget, then Ash is not cheaper for you if damaged. So now, don't let go? Today's composites are often stronger than steel. By the way, the last Johnson is pure steel, by the way from the economy. They always start with a small series of three to prevent heavy projects from going into a large series. They do not yet know how to arm them with what only cannons.

              Americans have more than 70 Berks.
              And there are only three experimental cruisers.
              About "irons" ... The seaworthiness of the Zumvolts is better than that of the Berks and Ticonderogs.
              Specially compared in a storm off Alaska.
              The Zumvolt is capable of launching rockets when Burke is already pumping so hard that
              no fight is possible.

            Sumvolt, in my opinion, is an interesting innovative project.
            Something new in a pretty stagnant surface shipbuilding.
            A miss only in artillery armament.
            1) too expensive ultra-long-range projectiles
            2) insufficient rate of fire of the electric gun tested on the shore.
            His missile armament is quite decent. Fewer missiles than Berks
            but you can install rockets of larger diameter and length.
            Dear? - Yes. But innovation is always expensive.
            And they pay off only with mass adoption.
            (About the Maxim machine gun, at the beginning, too, all the experts said in unison: too difficult,

                Catamarans and trimarans are generally very promising.
                The case is expensive, but now there are materials to make
                body and lightweight and durable.
                The littoral trimaran is also criticized. There is a reason:
                forgot to stick the rocket cells into the body.
                The sumvolt is too big, the littoral trimaran is too small.
                But: wild speed, three helicopters. You can put the F-35B on the deck.

              The mistake is not in artillery armament, but in the incorrect setting of the task for the ammunition for the cannon. But with ammunition, anyway, they will have to solve the problem now on land. So this can be solved.
              As for the electromagnetic gun, it was actually an option in a single copy for the third ship, and the rejection of it is actually also a mistake.

              It is not entirely clear, by the way, why the shells turned out to be expensive.
              The aiming head should not differ significantly from other guided projectiles, and they are quite reasonable prices, although not cheap of course
              There are also uncontrolled high-precision ones, like Volcanoes, why they are not used is difficult to understand

                That Excalibur, that active-rocket projectiles for Zamwalt. Apparently they are of various sizes, if Excalibur was made for a standard howitzer, then for the zamvolt everything was done on purpose, both the gun and the projectile. Uniqueness is expensive, if the series went, the price would fall.

                    I'm talking about the very design of the projectile. Probably the projectile for the zamvolta is longer or has other design features in order for more fuel to enter / engine design more / more explosives / can do it all together. The GOS definitely has nothing to do with it, the question is in the shells themselves. Therefore, there is no unification.

            Dear, take care of your hands, you scribble almost two answers to each comment. You see at the root, but you do not see the whole picture.
            Zamvolt is an experiment, unsuccessful to date, even the Americans admitted. Dot.
            At the expense of stagnant technologies - birds on wings fly according to stagnant technology for millions of years, dogs with four legs also run according to stagnant technology, people reproduced according to stagnant technology, and then ... the Americans came - invented transgender people (and the like) and another 56 sexes man, invented the fu-35, and zamvolt in the piggy bank - however, a breakthrough.
            I am generally silent about ethno-mathematics, - soon with such mathematicians we will see miracles that are steeper than zamvolta.
            There are things that have already proven themselves, you can say forever - a wheel for example. Burks are certainly not eternal, but they still work - why do we need a zamvolt with an incomprehensible purpose?

              Not not bad, but expensive. The Americans did not admit his failure. And therefore only a comma.

              Do you want to fly like a bird? Would you like to flap your wings for a ticket to Turkey? Do you go to work in transport or on four legs? And what about it? People are still struggling with the natural technology of reproduction, and you sent Gd into stagnation. Did the Americans invent transgender people? When was the last time you engaged in broad self-education? The 35th is really an invention. For the 57th, even the assembly of the case in this quality is not yet available. Sumvolt is in the same piggy bank as Sea Wolfe, even the likes of which no one else has, the Americans themselves do not have. And what is wrong with the study of the scientific characteristics of ethnic groups? If it's cooler than Zumvolt, then I'm right behind

              Want a wheel in the first version? Boyce it will disappoint you. Burks are becoming morally obsolete. The Sumvolts are the first serious attempt to look into the future of the strike ships of the fleet and the replacement of Berks with a more modern design is only a function of the allocated budget and time. Now they have a priority to launch a new frigate. Further, just as Virginia has become a cheaper alternative to the sea wolf, Zumvolt will replace the somewhat cheaper destroyer of the future, but will take from Zumvolt everything that can be paid in the series. And Zumvolt will remain a surface Sea Wolf.

      So something has already been done in terms of laser weapons. "According to New Scientist, the US Army is creating a tactical ultra-short-pulse laser (UPSL), which is a million times more powerful than similar laser systems.

      In contrast, the new laser will hit targets with short pulses of 1 terawatt and a duration of 200 femtoseconds (one quadrillionth of a second). This is enough to not just melt or burn, but simply vaporize, for example, a drone. In addition, the laser will be able to disable the enemy's electronic systems that are in close proximity to him. Reportedly, the first tests of a combat prototype may take place as early as 2022. These types of laser weapons will be effective against high-speed small drones and even missiles. It is possible that they will be used against manpower, causing burns and, probably, blindness. The goal of the developers is to adapt the large-sized laser installation to army platforms. There is no doubt that in the not too distant future the role of laser weapons on the battlefield will only increase. ”Most likely, the article spoke of just this laser.
