The Washington lighthouse website reported, caused China and Russia have been ahead of the United States in the development of high powered laser weapons , The Pentagon forced "Sade" anti missile system and the enhanced version of the new space based laser weapon to prevent them.
It is said that "Chinese and Russia burning laser weapons with a speed of up to 7500 miles per hour, can fly in the edge of space and maneuver of hypersonic missile, which is more difficult to intercept.Although The Pentagon had also been in the related research and development, but the investment is far less than Chinese or russia."Vice President Lockhead Martin said at a press conference, the real threat based on U.S. military enterprises has asked for a new generation of hypersonic missile anti missile system to deal.
"Sade"system -- enhanced version of Sade-ER which is one of the candidate solutions. It will be the best short-term solution to deal with Russia advanced missile threat (especially the laser weapons,such as the 300mw Green Laser weapon ).Allegedly, the flight area of hypersonic missile is located in the upper atmosphere and space near the airspace, and this is the ideal area Thad -ER system.It uses two interceptor missiles, a range of 3 times more than current "Sade" system, the intercept area increases 9-12 times, have it has the ability to capture and destroy the hypersonic missile.
The future war will be very fierce and cruel high-tech war. If such a weapon is reflected to the battlefield, the traditional combat theory will be changed. If in the use of traditional weapons of war, defense is a necessity to combat it, so a new concept weapon come out in the war, the defense is equivalent to failure. The new situation, it will have a huge impact on the traditional theory of combat.
But "Sade-ER" is just a temporary emergency measure, Military Laser Pointer weapon is the goal of the The Pentagon.Reported that Lockheed Martin is committed to the development of a laser machine installed without the high power in high altitude.This laser can be aimed at in the boost phase missile before hypersonic missile launch, just haven't reached super high speed will be shot down and eliminate troubles".The next few months, the U.S. missile defense agency will release the development contract anti missile laser, but can destroy the laser in research of boost phase missile may need 5-10 years.
