Boeing Begins Flight Tests - Laser Gunship Program
The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] has begun flight testing for the Advanced Tactical Laser (ATL) Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD) program and has generated "first light" of ATL's high-energy chemical laser in ground tests, achieving two key milestones in the laser gunship development effort.
During the "low-power" flight tests, which began Oct. 10 and conclude this fall, the ATL ACTD system will find and track ground targets at White Sands Missile Range, N.M. A low-power, solid-state laser will serve as a surrogate for ATL's high-power chemical laser.
To prepare for the tests, the ATL aircraft, a C-130H from the U.S. Air Force 46th Test Wing, was outfitted with flight demonstration hardware at Crestview Aerospace Corp. in Crestview, Fla. The hardware includes the beam director and optical control bench, which will direct the laser beam to its target; weapon system consoles, which will display high-resolution imagery and enable the tracking of targets; and sensors.
Boeing fired the high-energy chemical laser for the first time in ground tests on Sept. 21 in Albuquerque, N.M. - an achievement known as "first light." Ground tests of the laser will conclude this fall. By 2007, Boeing will install the device on the aircraft and fire it in-flight at mission-representative ground targets to demonstrate the military utility of high energy-lasers. The test team will fire the laser through a rotating turret that extends through an existing 50-inch-diameter hole in the aircraft's belly.
粗略的翻译一下:
美国空军第四十六试飞队近日用C-103H运输机对ATL(高级战术激光)系统的一部分进行了测试。。。。。
受试发射平台的硬件包括:激光导向装置和光学控制台,武器系统控制台,感应器等。。。。。
此技术由波音公司研发,计划于2007年在实机上装备。。。。
计划功能有:在飞行中对地面目标进行打击,激光将由直径五十厘米的旋转炮塔中射出、。。。。。。。。
ATL系统包含两项核心技术:
闭式循环(?),化学氧碘激光器。
它可以从移动发射平台锁定约十公里范围内的战术目标。。。。
用十厘米宽的激光束准确击中远距离目标一百次以上。。。。。
威力足以撕裂九公里外的金属板。。
最可怕的。。。。
ATL系统由若干独立的模块组成,可以在几小时内完成安装和拆卸。
波音公司声称该系统最大优点在于:
可以在几乎不造成任何间接伤害的情况下,对目标进行致命或非致命的精确打击。。
激光时代即将到来了。
