If concerned about the imbalance in weapons technology

If concerned about the imbalance in weapons technology and operational concepts in these two aspects, it is possible to "behind closed doors. Therefore, the development of laser weapon systems should not only stay on the technology itself, but also attention and the development of laser weapons operational concept of use. Need to pay attention to the weapons testing in the battlefield environment. Although there are a variety of laser weapon systems already in weapons integration testing phase, but most of them in the demonstration pilot phase of the overall progress seems to be more optimistic, but the real advantages and problems only can be found on the battlefield. Therefore, more strictly speaking, these weapons systems now can not be counted with the combat capability of laser weapons, but can only be counted as "laser weapon demonstration system. The torch-like  laser pointer is added into bigger module.
So, are maturing of laser weapons still faced with the cruel test of the battlefield. In addition, it is worth noting that the results of the Zeus Hummer ammunition disposal system proved an effective way of weapons testing in the battlefield environment is an operational use of the concept. We should also see that while the challenges facing the rapid development of technology also brings a great opportunity for the development of laser weapons. First, the broad prospects of solid-state laser technology. Laser as an important part of the laser weapon system, its power level, volume, weight, beam quality, and features such as severely restricts the development of laser weapons. At present, the rapid development of solid-state laser technology, integration and power levels in the continuous improvement opportunities to the development of laser weapons technology. By the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), U.S. Air Force and Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman cooperation developed. The aircraft loaded with power COlL high-energy chemical laser to destroy ballistic missiles in the boost phase. The Airborne Laser system's main components: the sensor system (passive infrared sensors); high-energy laser device (COIL chemical laser) i targeting and tracking system (beam control). The torch-like  laser pointer must be used with great care. Hound Brent meteorological rocket as a target, because the rocket can simulate abroad to lower the cost of solid fuel ballistic missile threat. February 11, the ABL has two intercept tests, the process is as follows: 8:44 p.m. Pacific Standard Time, a short-range ballistic missiles fired from mobile launch platform at sea, after a few seconds, the Airborne Laser airborne sensors will detect to the still in the boost phase, missiles, and use low-energy laser to track the target, then, the airborne laser target too a second low-energy laser to measure and compensate for atmospheric disturbances. The torch-like  laser pointer is unlike the ordinary  laser pointer in the shape.
