The ADEX 2015 exhibition in Seoul hosted the presentation of the Israeli Iron Ray combat laser system

269
At the ADEX 2015 exhibition in Seoul, there was a presentation of two variants of the advanced Iron Laser combat laser system developed by the Israeli company Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, the newspaper writes "Sight".



In particular, a variant was shown, designed to destroy artillery shells and missiles, as well as a version optimized for hitting unmanned aerial vehicles.

The laser installations of the complex are mounted in standard cargo containers that are installed on the cargo chassis. It consists of a command post, a radar station and two laser installations with a capacity of "several tens of kilowatts" each.

According to representatives of the Israeli company, in the future it is planned to increase the power of laser systems to "several hundred kilowatts", which will focus on the plane, the area with the coin.

The Iron Ray complex is capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to two kilometers. It can be mounted on any chassis, depending on the wishes of the customer.



In the future, the new development will be part of the Israeli layered defense system, which includes the Iron Dome and Strela-2 complexes.

        And if you let the fog?

        It is necessary to let it go before it is used, otherwise it is ineffective. "If I knew where the fall was, I would spread straws."

          The fog was let in - it's a good expression ...
          Given the size of the laser system, she is not able to perform the tasks that are described in the article.
          In principle, it is impossible to shoot down a projectile from a self-propelled laser system, even a rocket is unrealistic ...
          The only reason this unit can be used is to blind optics and fight snipers ...
          Although a slow drone may burn ... Is the game worth the candle?
          To burn a rocket - you need to carry a nuclear reactor with you, an ordinary zrak will cope with this task much more efficiently, and will cost 50 times cheaper ...
          Of course, you can concentrate fire on one target from several batteries at once, but this is the same as shooting gold shells from a cannon ...

                Well, what does your commercial have to do with it? Does he prove or disprove something? Even I am not special on these devices I know that to carry out these tasks you need not kilos, but megawatts of energy. That is, for such an installation, a small nuclear power plant is needed nearby. As soon as the issue of nutrition is resolved, the firearm will go into oblivion like a bow and arrow. In the meantime, there is no mini-energy sources and super capacitors working on fundamentally new technologies that are not expected in the near future.

Beam weapons are a new direction, and they must go their own evolutionary path. Well done Jews, they work, which means that the result will be, or already is. And the system will improve, decrease, grow power, etc.

                        You’re constantly duplicating the same video here. But this is the same as comparing a bicycle and a motorcycle ...

                        The Israeli laser installation shown in the picture is located in the body of one combat vehicle, which means it includes a tracking and tracking system, the gun itself, a capacitor bank, a power station, fuel supply, engines, a generator, a transformer, a crew’s and crew’s habitat.

                        Imagine how much space is left for the power plant and what power it can generate ....

                        a Soviet similar laser self-propelled unit was powerful in 10 kW, and was good for nothing but blinding optics. it really was a little smaller, but not a lot of revolution in the field of energy happened during this time ...

                        The American installation that you show in your video consists of several modules, it is not self-propelled and it is much more!

                        Therefore, the power of the American laser 1 MW !!!! and not 10 kW and not even 100 kW

                        That's why he can shoot down a rocket!

                        A stand-alone laser megawatt installation with all associated equipment and a crew cannot be placed in the same truck !!!!

                        Laser weapons are a dead end branch. It may be normal for Israel - there are many sunny days. For other options - just a toy, an expensive toy. The system is too much dependent on various kinds of natural factors.

                      Your article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_laser is complete technical nonsense! Firstly, there is nothing in the article about supposedly new energy sources, it says about methods of pumping a chemical laser - Typical examples of chemical lasers are - chemical oxygen iodine laser (coil), all laser gas-phase iodine (AGIL) and hydrogen fluoride (HF) and deuterium fluoride ( DF) lasers operating in the mid-infrared range. Whom do you want to deceive? Secondly, it also says that the Department of Defense stopped all development of chemical laser systems with the termination of the TestBed air laser program in 2012 due to the lack of powerful systems with a "renewable" power source. And thirdly, there is absolutely no evidence and arguments about the downed missiles or shells, except for commercials of this type, in which the distance, the nature of the target, the material, the trajectory, the number of attempts, and so on are absolutely silent. In the USA there are no such problems as in Israel. and there it is possible to pursue long-term military programs without jeopardizing national security. Work there continued and, gradually, the MHTEL project was transformed by Skyguard, and Northrop Grumman took over its development. In mid-2007, the modernization of the system was completed and it was put up for sale. A beautiful and effective presentation was prepared, but this did not help: the tactical laser missile defense system, the first in the world, could not surpass classical systems in its characteristics and no one bought it. Out of desperation, the laser system was even offered to civil organizations, but here everyone was waiting complete disappointment. The idea of ​​protecting civilian aircraft from terrorist attacks using such a system was considered absurd. Two years later, when it became clear that no one would buy Skyguard, chemical lasers were still given up on, considering them a dead-end branch. Two for you Professor, a physics textbook in your hands and back to school.

                        The super-capacitor or ionistor that you are talking about, unless of course you mean optical lasers, which is not used at all for military purposes, only as target designation and rangefinders, or all the same gas-dynamic, gas or chemical, which the military is interested in but here again the ionizer what do you mean? So, I’ll continue essentially any methods and conditions that can’t cope with the main problem described by the post above, even if you have a million micro-generating rays, which in essence and power is similar to one well-focused beam, will not solve the fundamental problems, or rather, I’ll repeat . There is only one way to deal with beam divergence - by reducing the wavelength. However, it follows from the fundamental laws of physics that the shorter the wavelength, the more difficult it is to implement quantum amplification of radiation, or, in human terms, to build a laser.
                        PS The USSR at one time went all the way to create a combat laser from and to what the United States is now doing and reinventing the bicycle, I won’t be surprised if they soon begin to build an installation similar to Terra-3, but in the USSR they realized the futility of these weapons in time, except to blind and burn the enemy’s optics, the laser is not capable of more in combat conditions, due to the low power and elementary and CHEAP methods of protection against it, and of course, speaking of a compact installation, you did not bother to read about the problem of the remaining energy and Cooling installation benefits.

                        I will tell you a little secret Professor ... from the correspondence - Greetings, now I don’t remember everything, but everything happened like this; a squadron took off from Beni-Sueif, passed over Cairo West at a low altitude, at which time MIG-25 was attached to them. All this was done, because the Jews controlled their entire radar and silence in Egypt with their radar and airborne landing gears, so that they would not detect the moment of take-off. He was accompanied with a course to the north until it entered the Mediterranean Sea and entered the regime. 25 passed almost to Cyprus, turned south and blew through the Sinai. And again, our squadron met him on a decline in the Gulf of Suez, escorting us to Beni Sueif before landing. Preliminarily expelling the Arabs and cordoning off the parking lot with our soldiers (communications company and TEC). After landing, while refueling was in progress, the pilot was brought to the CP. The KP was together with the Egyptian ZRCh brigade, and I had the only room where there was no access to the Arabs. I got a phone. ZAS and the pilots on it reported to the CCP in Cairo, just a few words; 24000 height, 2600 speed, everything is fine. These were the first words after take-off. Then again the squadron escorted before landing in Cairo West. As you see, it’s not just a flight, it’s a whole operation. No one in the Union worked out a flight in silence mode from landing in the cockpit, covering with an entire squadron, and all silently until landing. Reaction of the Jews; if the Arabs applied for a day, the Jews met over Sinai already from duty in the air, from three jump airfields. Those. their intelligence worked great and only when they started serving in 2 hours did they not have time. On the KP, on the radar screens, it was clearly visible the attempts of the Jews to intercept, but alas, almost 10tys were not reached in height. Well, and instantly behind in speed. Attempts to intercept never stopped. In July 1972 at the request of Sadat, all of ours were removed from Egypt. But in 1973. again they asked ours, and probably already these were in Brzeg. How they flew, who covered, I don’t know, in June 1972 I was not there already.

                    You hope to understand that videos of such tests are almost nowhere and never are uploaded. They are watched by people who are clearly not you.

                  Many copies on the AO were broken for laser weapons, and as far as I remember, the conclusions of almost all the articles coincided - an enormous amount of energy is required to pump a laser of the required power, with low energy, all this is nothing, plus dispersion and the effect of atmospheric conditions on the efficiency of such systems (although in this case the declared range is low and these moments are possibly uncritical at these distances). Otherwise, only the blinding of optical devices and the "burning" of the enemy's electronics really remain. In any case, it would be interesting to get acquainted with the information on the system.

            And what is this shell? If an anti-tank disc is theoretically impossible to shoot it down, it is necessary to melt it, and if it is a land mine, then you can try to detonate it. Apparently, you can. In any case - the time the impact of the laser beam on the object should be calculated at least in fractions of a second - 0,5-1s, otherwise the case will simply not have time to burn through. Yes, and the laser power should be decent - at least 100 kW. Similar, but experimental installations, though stationary, were created in the 80s under the USSR, however, were recognized uneconomical. All the tasks that were supposed to be assigned to the laser can be solved much more successfully by other, cheaper means. And the range is too small - 2 km, as indicated in the article - this is too much for the laser, but extremely small to provide protection for anything.

                Not. I do not think so. It’s just that there are people in Raphael who are developing very specific systems for specific needs and have a certain reputation. And if the installation went to an international exhibition, then probably these people are no more stupid than you. This system is not for beauty, it becomes an existing missile defense system. Which is regularly checked by real shelling.

                      Respectfully :)

                      You do not confuse the warm with the soft, an American installation that is really capable of shooting down missiles is much larger than an Israeli laser truck.

                      She consumes energy! An installation of this size could only be shoved into a hefty Boeing, and then it was barely barely possible ... Or onto a ship.
                      How do you stuff several trucks into one Rafale?
                      Or even at least 1?

                      The latest American Hal MD self-propelled laser system (and this is a large, heavy truck) is capable of destroying only mines and drones from a distance of 1,5-2 km ...

                      And it took several years of testing to bring down the unfortunate drone 1, it was only possible to shoot it down on 5 on August 2015!

                        Let's go in order. Show me an article where, for example, it is clearly described in technical and scientific language how they managed to get around the main problems of building a laser? The natural divorce of suckers (military and taxpayers) on the headstock by American scientific and technical swindlers. For the reason that in the foreseeable future, “combat lasers” are not able, in principle, even to approach combat good old good guns / missiles. In the best case, their destiny is extremely narrow, specific areas of application such as burning optics for reconnaissance. equipment, sights, etc. If we talk about the use of lasers on the battlefield to “burn” tanks / infantry / missiles / aircraft, then this is just technical nonsense. And that's why. First, you only have to make a small introduction to the topic - how to evaluate and compare the impact on the target of different types of weapons. Those who are well versed in weapon physics may not read. For the rest of the educational program: What determines the degree of destruction of the target?
                      2. +1
                        26 October 2015 17: 28
                        It is determined by three factors: 1) The power supplied from the weapon to the target. A commonplace banal example: the more you hit a person with your fist, the more damage he will inflict, all other things being equal. “Stronger” means applying more muscle at a greater distance in less time. This is power. With regard to guns: the faster the projectile flies, and the heavier it is, the more power. The more he damages the tank, all other things being equal. With reference to the laser - the greater the power of the beam in kilowatts, the stronger it will burn the target. And in the same kilowatts you can translate the damaging properties of any other weapon and compare them. What will we do later. 2) The second factor is the area on which we bring power from the weapon. The smaller it is, the more concentrated the target experiences, the stronger the defeat (we don’t take extreme cases!). If you push the bully with your fist, there will be nothing for him. If you poke him with an awl with exactly the same effort (power), he will not be greeted. When they want to break through a tank, they try to make it a thinner striking element. So as not to “spread” power over the area. If we shoot a beam - we must collect it on the smallest possible area. Remember children's games with lenses and the Sun. A lens collecting the light of the Sun from a circle with a diameter of 5 cm - burns paper perfectly when this beam is compressed to a size of a couple of millimeters. In principle, the first and second factors are usually combined into one - the energy flux density. That is, they receive power in watts divided by the area of ​​impact. The higher this density, the more dangerous the impact. Measured in watts per square centimeter. But I decided to break them down for clarity. 3) The ability of the target to reflect, fend off the power of the weapon. That is, for example, if we take two armor plates and a projectile flying in them, but put one sheet at an angle, then the projectile can bounce off the inclined sheet. All else being equal. That is, the degree of destruction of the target very much depends on its specific vulnerability to this type of weapon with the first two factors being equal. It’s so simple not to sort through the interaction, there are dozens of types of interaction, but then it will be easier. For now, just remember that this must be taken into account. So, we repeat once again: in order to assess the damaging effect of a weapon, we are primarily interested in its power, concentration and methods of protection. Now let's see what has been achieved in the field of lasers and conventional weapons in terms of the above criteria.

                        Power criterion. The most powerful laser today is the ABL chemical COIL laser. Its power is about 1 megawatts. For comparison: the power of the 76-mm division gun F-22 of the 1936 model of the year is about 150 megawatts. 150 times more! Count yourself - the kinetic energy of the projectile (M * V ^ 2) / 2 divided by the time it is reached (about 0.01 seconds). We still do not take into account the explosive energy in the projectile itself. There are still as many. Think about this simple fact: a small ancient cannon from the time of the Second World War at a price of scrap metal is hundreds of times more powerful than an ultramodern “battle” laser weighing tens of tons and costing over 5 billions of dollars. A shot from ABL alone costs millions of dollars. And this energy shot is comparable to the burst of a heavy machine gun. The power of a Kalashnikov assault rifle is about 100 kilowatts. A US-Israeli laser with the same 100 kW (THEL) power was tested, they wanted to use it to protect against Grad missile shells. THEL installation in size - 6 delivered next to the bus. The project was closed at 2006 for complete inadequacy, although it still successfully shot down missiles and mines. By heating them in flight for several seconds. (The question is - what about the volley ????) Characteristically, no one even mentioned the possibility of defeating infantry with such a laser. Otherwise, even a child would clearly see its true capabilities, comparing it with an ordinary machine gun. It should be noted that it is no coincidence that the US military and experts believe that the minimum required laser power for combat use is 100 kW. As we see, this is really enough to at least get closer to the striking power of small arms.

                        Laserophiles will say: well, maybe the beam can be concentrated on a small area and thereby achieve a much greater effect with less power? Indeed - after all, industry uses laser machines that quietly cut centimeter steel with powers of only about a few kilowatts. At the same time, their rays are focused on a patch of several millimeters in size. Alas! Here, the physically irresistible diffraction law comes into force, which states that the laser radiation always diverges from the angle = wavelength / beam diameter. At distances of the order of meters, it can be ignored. So what is next? If we take specifically a combat infrared laser with a wavelength of 2 μm (THEL combat lasers work at such a length, etc.) and a beam diameter of 1 cm, then we get the angle of divergence 0.2 of the milliradian (this is a very small difference - for example, ordinary laser pointers / rangefinders diverge by 5 milliradians and more). Divergence 0.2 mrad. at a distance of 100 meters it will increase the diameter of the spot from 1 cm to approximately 3 cm (if anyone else remembers school geometry). That is, the impact density will fall in proportion to the area in 7 times only by 100 meters. That is: if we know that a laser with a power of 100 KW burns an inch steel plate at point-blank somewhere in 2-3 seconds, then at a distance of 100 meters it will do this, roughly, 18 seconds. All this time, an armored personnel carrier (or whom you are going to burn there) must by itself patiently stand and wait. Do not violate those. process, so to speak. Well, as you know - a furrow of a couple of centimeters is unlikely to upset him anyway. For comparison: armor-piercing bullets from Kalashnikov calmly pierce 16 mm steel at the same distance. And I repeat - today the 100 kW laser is a huge installation weighing tens of tons, with huge tanks of toxic chemicals and sophisticated optics. When he "shoots" - huge clouds of poisonous smoke come from him, poisoning the entire vicinity. What will happen to all this if the enemy strikes from 100 meters throughout this kitchen from his good old large-caliber KPVT - you can imagine. And the rocket can accidentally hit ... And on a kilometer the beam density will fall already 300 times.

                        Therefore, it is easy to understand that the distance of hitting a target even in 1 km for an 100-kW laser is an unattainable dream in real conditions. Unless you understand, for example, a canister of gasoline. Or a naked man tied to a tree. That is, a minimally protected target cannot be hit with such a laser at REASONABLE distances in combat conditions. By the way! On combat conditions: the battlefield is not always a desert White Sands training ground. It's rain. Snow. Fog. Explosions. Fumes. Dust. All these are almost insurmountable obstacles to the laser beam. Here, in general, you can forget about any concentration of the beam - it simply dissipates long before the goal. Who needs an assault rifle that is unable to hit targets in such conditions? I remember that the earliest firearms could not shoot in wet weather - the gunpowder was drenched. And the "shooters" just cut out the old fashioned way. Here it is, the inevitable fate of lovers of hyperboloids. 3) Also a very unpleasant point for "laser" is the ability to protect the target. And it’s very cheap and very cheerful. Because infrared rays are reflected from anything that is not hit (everyone can play with the remote control from the TV). A cheap window film with metallization reflects the vast majority of infrared radiation. Titanium reflects the IR laser very well. But we already barely brought it to the goal (just poetry!). Worse, there are also sublimation resins that are used to protect spacecraft from gigawatt heat fluxes, combined with the terrible mechanical effects of air pressure. In this case, the resin layer is damaged by a centimeter or two. That is, armor / steel is far from the most resistant material for the laser, no. It has long been an order of magnitude more "laser-resistant" coatings. It follows that even if it is possible to increase the power of laser guns by an order of magnitude, to gigawatts, this will not make them a prodigy at all. In this “sword and shield” competition, the shield has a huge, insurmountable head start. That is why laser-lasers very rarely tell WHAT goals they once again managed to hit and at what distance. And what is shown on the video raises more questions than answers. Ah well? - true laser lovers will say - but what do you all tell about chemical lasers when a technological breakthrough has already been made and “combat” solid-state light-pumping devices have appeared? There are no poisonous tanks, and they are much smaller! And decent power has already been achieved - for 100 kW!

                        And it's called beautifully - Firestrike. Hmm .. And really, a very compact little thing - 7 blocks each weighing 180 kg. Total 1300 kg. So that? A dream come true? Let's not rush. There are a couple of nuances. This huge cabinet weighing per ton is just the radiating unit itself. At least 500 kW should be supplied with electric power, given that the achieved efficiency of this laser is about 20%. (and even that is very doubtful, usually much less - less than 10%). Thus, 100 kW went into the enemy with us, and 400 kW remained in this cabinet. And these kilowatts need to be put out quickly, right? Otherwise, expensive optics will suffer. The dimensions of a cooling system of such power can be imagined by looking, for example, at a cooling installation. A rather big bandura, weighs 120 kg. The system can just serve for cooling industrial lasers; it diverts power from as many as whole 6 kW. And she consumes the same amount of electricity. So you need something the size of a truck to cool our 100 kW cabinet when firing. And all this in total will consume megawatts of electric power under 1. Well how? Do you still like breakthrough 100 kW solid-state lasers? With the unimaginable power of defeat comparable to a Kalashnikov assault rifle?

                        Well, for a snack ... The technical details of the system were not disclosed. According to Ezra, the laser power is calculated “in tens of kilowatts”, but in the future it will be increased to “hundreds of kilowatts”. Rafael does not produce laser systems, purchasing them from several suppliers whose names are not disclosed. According to the company, the development of the Iron Ray has not yet been completed. “We are waiting for more powerful lasers. Financing of the system by the Israeli government is still limited, ”─ Ezra said. Israel, which spent more than 300 million dollars on developing the system, decided to quit the Nautilus program. The reason for not participating in an ambitious project was not only that it turned out to be unbearable for Israeli finance, but also political considerations. At some point, the “tit in the hands” seemed to the representatives of the Israeli government more important than the “crane in the sky”. Palestinian rockets regularly fell in Israeli cities and the country's leadership decided to develop a classic-style tactical system - the Iron Dome ABM. There are no such problems in the US as in Israel and long-term military programs can be practiced there, without jeopardizing national security. Work continued there and, gradually, the MHTEL project was transformed by Skyguard, and Northrop Grumman was engaged in its development. In the middle of 2007, the system was modernized and put up for sale. A beautiful and effective presentation was prepared, but it didn’t help: the tactical laser missile defense system, the first in the world, couldn’t surpass classical systems by its characteristics and no one bought it. From despair, the laser system was even offered to civilian organizations, but here everyone was waiting complete disappointment. The idea of ​​protecting civilian aircraft from terrorist attacks using such a system was considered absurd. Two years later, when it became clear that no one would buy Skyguard, they put an end to chemical lasers, considering them a dead end branch. So it’s only in commercials that it knocks down everything, but in fact, as rockets fell on Israel, they fall.

            If you "throw out" the power of 100 kW in a fraction of a second, then the generator's power, even with 10-12 "shots" per minute, will go over 1000 kW. And a capacitor bank for a good body ...

              And many more "ifs" and "need" others. The same safe discharge of excess power from losses. The efficiency is not 100%, as you know. Stock of "shots" during a massive attack. Thermal illumination and mobility from counter-battery fire with thermal guidance. Change in effective firing range when air humidity changes. Beam divergence and, accordingly, a decrease in the energy density in the spot.

              Take from here, for example. http://www.rcdesign.ru/articles/engines/lipol Lithium polymer batteries. The voltage in the cell is 3,6V. Take something in between, for example, the Kokam 1500HC. Maximum discharge current 12V, weight 35g. capacity 1,5Ah. We get the power of 43,2W. A battery with such power will work 1,5Ah / 12A * 60min = 7,5min. How much power do we need? 10 megawatts, for example. Divide 10mln / 43,2 = 231481pcs. Multiply by 0,035kg. Total 8101 kg, i.e. about eight tons. 8 tons will give us 10 megawatts in 7,5 minutes. The calculation is rough, I do not argue. Large cells can be made more efficient and specialized in high discharge current, while miniaturization is considered as a priority. And the voltage of course during the discharge will not be 3,6V, but noticeably less, depending on the internal resistance of the cells. But it demonstrates the very possibility of using modern batteries as a very powerful power source.

                Power issued for a certain time - this is energy. 1J = 1V * 1A * 1s. 1V * 1A - this is the power.
                And here the most important thing is not the power and capacity of the battery, but 1) the ability to give up all the stored energy in a split second 2) recharge again in a short time - if not in a split second, then in 1-2 seconds - that's for sure.
                And for this, capacitors are best suited, such as with the prefix "super", and are used for such lasers.
                And so your example as an opportunity to use modern batteries as a very powerful power source is quite indicative. good hi

            Concerning energy storage - supercapacitors, of course, are available.
            The question is different - in order to destroy an artillery shell, it is required to "simply" melt its body in flight. Can you imagine how much energy the laser should transfer in a split second to the projectile body? And this is when it moves in space with a strong speed! The power of such a shot, taking into account losses, should go off scale for 100 kW. And this is at a distance of up to 1,5-2 km. Then he will not be able to work at all - this is also noted in the article. And if it is necessary to shoot down 10-12 shells per minute, then even 1000 kW will not be enough. And if the projectile is fired from a rifled barrel and rotates in flight, then it is unlikely that it will be possible to shoot it down at all, or it is necessary to increase the power even more. Therefore, the best application is a stationary laser system with external energy supply. True, the tasks of protecting objects can be solved in simpler and cheaper ways. variant

          Not necessarily a mirror finish. The green pigment gives a reflection of about 40%. High-quality white lead gives the coefficient. reflections about 90%. Those. the laser power will have to be increased 6 times. Use mirror coatings if only expensive, which give out 94-96% of reflection. Cheap ones give out 50-70%. There are "anti-reflective" coatings that can give up to 99% reflectivity, are metal free and transparent in the IR range, but they are even more expensive. If used, it will be used to protect guided missiles that have their own guidance system.

      You can’t argue against physics. In order for the installation to be really POWERFUL, it needs a power station of several tens of megawatts. Everything else is junk with a range of at best a couple of kilometers. Therefore, the laser is now used only for illumination purposes. Yes

          Very significant moment. This system has a lot of advantages, but, unfortunately, there is very limited real application for a number of reasons:
          1} the system stands like a cast-iron bridge - therefore there is no talk of mass character. It will be used as a system of protection of very important objects.
          2) The capabilities of the system are limited by the interception of low-speed and slow-moving ammunition. Consequently, the defense will be effective against mortar mines, nurses, freely falling bombs and various missiles
          3) system performance is likely to allow it to work on small series of ammunition (up to a dozen per minute

The venerated authority was writing his article at the very moment when the Wrights in his bicycle workshop, built their own plane.

Bickerton said in one of his articles (1926): “The stupid idea of ​​a shot at the Moon is an example of those extreme absurdities that scientists working in“ mind-tight compartments ”reach in full isolation from each other. We will try to critically analyze this proposal. In order for the shell to completely overcome the force of gravity of the Earth, it needs to be informed of a speed of 11 kilometers per second. The equivalent thermal energy of one gram is at this speed 15 calories ... The energy of nitroglycerin - the most blasting explosive that we have - is less than 180 calories per gram. Consequently, this explosive itself has only 1500/1 of the energy that it needs to break away from the Earth, even if it does not have any additional load ... From this it appears that this proposal is not feasible at its very core ... "

            “Fun with alternating current is a waste of time. No one will use it. Never". - Thomas Edison, American inventor, 1889
            In 1897, Kelvin noted that the radio has no prospects. In 1878, the Western Union company distributed a memorandum among employees saying: “The so-called“ telephone ”has too many shortcomings and cannot be regarded as an effective means of communication. It is of no interest to our company. ”
            "There is no chance that space communications satellites will be able to improve the operation of telephones, telegraphs, television or radio in the United States." - T. Kraven, member of the Federal Communications Commission, 1961 (the first communications satellite was launched in 1965)
            When in 1909, Henry Ford's lawyer decided to co-own the automobile company of his famous client, the president of the Michigan Savings Bank discouraged him: “Do not do this. There will always be horses, and cars are just a temporary fad. ”
            “As for submarines, all I can imagine is how their crews die from suffocation.” - Herbert Wales, British novelist, 1901
            “There is no reason to use a computer at home.” - Ken Olsen, president, assessor and founder of Digital Equipment Corporation, a manufacturer of large computers in a data center, spoke out against personal computers in 1977.
            In 1932, the great Einstein spoke in the same vein: "There is not the slightest sign that controlled decay of the atomic nucleus will ever be available."

      This is when viewed perpendicular to the trajectory. The faster you have to turn the laser, the less accuracy. But if you aim along the trajectory, then the angular displacement is minimal. For example, if the projectile is aimed at the installation itself or something located close enough. With shells, another problem is that they move too fast, there is less time for defeat.

      Look at industrial lasers for cutting metal -
      they are gas and operate continuously.
      The problem, of course, is in pumping power.
      Capacitors are good for pulsed operation, and for guaranteed target destruction, some minimum continuous exposure time is required depending on both the radiation power and the thickness
      and other physical characteristics of the material.
      And of course, the variance, there’s no getting around it.
      By the way, the radiation power decreases in direct proportion to the square of the distance, so ...

    It is difficult to say something, based only on a drawing and computer animation. But, it is interesting that in the figure exactly 2 rays are concentrated on one target. Perhaps they mean a lot of relatively weak lasers with a common control and aim. In an extreme case, the system degenerates into Chinese miles with laser pointers :)

              They rightly say: "blind" OGSN, suppress sensors, light drones that "hover" over the battlefield ..., snipers, etc., this is real. But knocking down an iron shell is too cool.

          But suppose it’s bad to just heat a rocket in the warhead, which will also rotate like a grill? But to burn the stabilizer, and where will it fly?

          Of course, you can shoot down a missile with a laser. And if you use the good old aviation gun? Or a small rocket, air to air. Wouldn't it be cheaper? wink
          And it will be five or six lightings to heap one rocket from the lasers - long and hard - but this can be achieved easier, cheaper, and by conventional means.
          The use of a laser in the atmosphere itself is a controversial and unpredictable issue, depending on the transparency of the atmosphere, and the range is only up to 2 km. There are traditional methods for destroying missiles. And the destruction of shells - it is much easier to destroy a weapon that shoots these shells. I, of course, understand that Israel is forced to look back at the reaction of European-American toleranceists, so it is introducing such miracles of technological thought as an "iron dome" and an "iron beam", although to guarantee the safety of its citizens it would be necessary to "only "to make impossible any shelling of its territory by destroying terrorists and preventing their very possibility of appearing on the adjacent territory.

The alignment, of course you can do it yourself. What is at first a dome, and what is then a laser, if it flies along the kumpole.

          What is the difference that "demonstrated this flight." The article is fake as for me, it makes sense to discuss it. History has already proved that without normal, professional aircraft control, no matter how cool the plane is, nothing will come of it. This was proved by the air battles successfully lost by the Arab pilots in all the Arab-Israeli wars.

    First exhibited at the exhibition of the latest military and civil aerotechnology "Singapore Airshow 2014", which opened on February 11, 2014 in Singapore.
    The design of this system consists of: a radar detecting an enemy missile; a thermal imager that determines its trajectory; management and control systems; two laser systems. After the radar detects the projectile, the thermal imaging camera begins to follow its path until two lasers that fire simultaneously destroy the projectile in the air. In order to bring down one projectile, the system needs only 4-5 seconds.
    Designed to eliminate mortar shells and ultra-small radius missiles at a distance of up to 7 kilometers. It is assumed that the Iron Ray will be able to shoot down small unmanned aerial vehicles.

      In fact, back in the 80s, lasers were tested to protect an object from missiles. And quite successfully shot down both missiles from the hail, and more missiles. That's just the effective range of the defeat - like today mentioned in the article - did not exceed 2 km. The results were considered unsuccessful - a similar effect can be achieved easier, cheaper and more reliable. But the installation of MLRS and artillery to guarded objects in general should not be allowed to reach the firing range.

    Not, if the projectile is fixed, warmed up, it will, of course, whine. Sadness only: the shell, the female dog, rotates in flight. Focusing to one point is basically impossible. In addition, the competition between "weapons and armor" immediately begins - they will begin to apply a reflective layer to the target. Triple prisms will be installed. And high-speed targets are enveloped in a plasma layer. The laser for them - as for a well-known organ - with a palm.

    By the way, the American development of HEL MD (a combat laser from Boeing) with a power of 10 kilowatts launches a 60 kW diesel generator wink

    Regarding dust and atmospheric problems, this has already been decided and verified.

    Boeing and the U.S. Army tested the advanced HEL MD (High Energy Laser Mobile Demonstrator) combat laser in coastal environments. According to a press release from the American company, despite the bad weather - strong wind, rain and fog - a 10-kilowatt installation successfully hit several air targets at the Eglin air base in Florida.

    During testing, the laser was mounted on an Oshkosh armored vehicle. The HEL MD complex also includes the EMMR radar station, designed to detect cruise missiles, artillery and mortar shells, and UAVs.

    Previous HEL MD tests took place in 2013 at the White Sands training ground in New Mexico. Then the complex hit over 90 mortar rounds and several unmanned aerial vehicles.

    According to the results of both tests, a combat laser hit a total of 150 air targets, including 60-mm mortar shells and drones. In the future, it is planned to increase the power of HEL MD to 50 or 60 kilowatts and to improve the power supply systems of the installation.

    7 medium, 2 heavy and 1 light rockets

    To begin with, it would be nice to know what exactly was meant in these tests, so to speak, under an artillery shell. I suspect it was a specially prepared imitator. Why - below.

    Let's look at the points of nonsense of storytellers from Northrop and Israel Defense Forces:

    1. These storytellers are generally aware that the explosives used in artillery shells do not detonate from heating? What are they going to blow up there, TNT, which burns quietly for itself, phlegmatized RDX with the same properties, ten, which ignites with difficulty?

    2. The projectile generally rotates in flight, the entire blank will have to be heated almost uniformly so that it glows to such an extent that the detonator capsule works.

    We conclude that it is not the whole shell that needs to be heated, but its sharp part, in which the shock detonator is located. The article states that the system can focus laser beams on a coin-sized area, i.e. just about the area on the fuse. However, nothing has been written about the dynamics of this process, and this is natural.

    There are a number of problems:
    1) What to do with armor-piercing and anti-caliber shells. Answer: do nothing with this system;

    2) fuses are generally ground fuses, so they are not available for direct heating, which, as we found out, leads to the impossibility of detonating a projectile;

    3) the most important point that reveals the whole delusional essence of such vidosiks and little articles - it is impossible to determine the position of the fuse on the projection of the approaching projectilebecause the exact direction and position of the projectile on the ballistic curve at the time of its detection is not known.
    The claimed range of 2 km leaves no time window for updating the trajectory, nor time for heating.

    Instead of a fuse, lasers can be focused on the casing with the ensuing consequences, not the fact that they and the fuse have time to heat up, as it transfers heat to the shell of the projectile and rotates;

    4) Well, for starters, modern electronic fuses, with full protection against premature operation of the igniter capsule (which is even on old fuses, by the way), i.e. the entire volume of the fuse will have to be heated, which is tightly connected to the shell of the projectile with heat removed to it. And the latest fuses are also filled with polyurethane insulation. Bye-bye, mighty heaters!

    Given all of the above considerations, I have only one word: clowns.

    Something was recalled by the Yankel comedy where Sergeant Bilko (a forerunner of RADS) made a flying tank :-)
