Speaking of laser weapon , I am afraid that before this year's air show, it was still a high-end equipment that made people feel mysterious. However, after this year's air show, this concept may have a big turn in the entire international military trade field. At this air show, at least 5 laser air defense weapons were unveiled, including truck motorized chassis, armored vehicle chassis like Mengshi, some for self-use, and some for foreign trade versions. It can be said that domestic equipment has brought laser weapons from the high-end market with its own strength to cabbage, just like the drone of that year. Recently, a domestically produced Mengshi long-axis chassis laser tank was also unveiled, and military fans think it looks like a "light edge" tank.
According to social media reports, we have seen a new domestic laser air defense weapon unveiled. Judging from the pictures, this laser weapon has a 6×6 long-axis version chassis with a transmitter set behind the body. The whole vehicle is very compact, perfectly taking advantage of the advantages of the long-axis version of the Warrior, and its motorization ability is very strong.
In fact, military fans are not unfamiliar with laser defense weapons. Five Aurora air defense weapons were unveiled at this air show, including the "Silent Hunter" vehicle-mounted laser air defense weapons of the previous Saudi Eagle Strike. Compared with the same truck model, the third-generation long-axle chassis unveiled this time is still rare. Although a laser weapon improved on the basis of the chassis of the M50 appeared earlier, the design of this model is quite good. The laser equipment has a large size and finally formed a large module on the roof. With the launcher part, the height of the bottom of the vehicle has a great impact on the center of gravity, which has a great impact on the balance of the vehicle and off-road capabilities.
This time, the third generation platform of the Warriors appeared has obviously been better optimized. First of all, the layout of the long-axis version 6×6 has more advantages than the original M50's 4×4 layout length, and the load-bearing capacity is stronger. Moreover, the laser equipment is optimized to be miniaturized and can be fully accommodated in the Warriors body without forming a higher superstructure, affecting the center of gravity and maneuverability of the vehicle. It is worth mentioning that the outside of the laser emitter at the rear is a protective device that can be opened and closed, and the inside is a laser emitter after opening, which is obviously a protection for relatively fragile emission devices. This means that the laser air defense combat vehicle with the long-axis version of the Mengs can not only carry out and air defense , but also has the ability to conduct field air defense at the forefront of high-intensity battlefields.
It is said that the current third-generation Martin Air Defense System is used by the Rocket Force. The purpose should be to prevent the opponent from using drones to interfere with and intercept them during maneuvering, and at the same time, it can also provide end defense against other low-small slow aircraft. Of course, there is a foreign trade version for a similar equipment solution at the Zhuhai Air Show this time, and it is named the OWS-A10 laser weapon system. The same type of Warrior version has a long axis 6×6 layout as a platform. After the protective device that can be opened and closed above is opened, the internal laser emitting device can be clearly seen. The design is compact and simple, and it has a unique beauty of weapons and equipment.
Overall, the development of domestic laser weapons has shown a blooming situation, which can only show that a series of technologies such as capture, energy and strike of small laser weapons have been very mature, and have begun to show success or failure. And that's a great way to hit the same cheap drone. With the development of domestic drones in full swing, the development of laser air defense weapons has also enabled domestic equipment to have both spear and shield, and can be invincible under any circumstances, and can also provide foreign trade users with multiple levels of offense and defense.
