美军将在军舰上部署的激光炮

美军将在军舰上部署的激光炮 精品文档 美军将在军舰上部署的激光炮 Some of the Navy's futuristic weapons sound like something out of "Star Wars," with lasers designed to shoot down aerial drones and electric guns that fire projectiles2 at hypersonic speeds. That future is now. The Navy plans to deploy3 its first laser on a ship later this year, and it intends to test an electromagnetic rail gun prototype aboard a vessel4 within two years. For the Navy, it's not so much about the whiz-bang technology as it is about the economics of such armaments(军备,武器). Both costs pennies on the dollar compared with missiles and smart bombs, and the weapons can be fired continuously, unlike missiles and bombs, which eventually run out. "It fundamentally changes the way we fight," said Capt. Mike Ziv, program manager for directed energy and electric weapon systems for the Naval5 Sea Systems Command. The Navy's laser technology has evolved to the point that a prototype to be deployed6 aboard the USS Ponce 1 / 3 精品文档 this summer can be operated by a single sailor, he said. The solid-state Laser Weapon System is designed to target what the Navy describes as "asymmetrical7 threats." Those include aerial drones, speed boats and swarm8 boats, all potential threats to warships9 in the Persian Gulf10, where the Ponce, a floating staging base, is set to be deployed. Rail guns, which have been tested on land in Virginia, fire a projectile1 at six or seven times the speed of sound -- enough velocity11 to cause severe damage. The Navy sees them as replacing or supplementing old-school guns, firing lethal12 projectiles(落弹数) from long distances. 上一篇英语: 试管受精新技术可能规避新生儿的先天疾病 下一篇英语: 没有了查看更多关于技术英语的文章网友同 时还浏览了: 试管受精新技术可能规避新生儿的 智能的睡眠眼罩帮忙缓解时差 中国计划向月球北面发射的探测车 阿联酋将发射火星探测器 谷歌和李维斯合作研发智能牛仔裤 2 / 3 精品文档 人工的智能使蒙娜丽莎栩栩如生 3 / 3
