The British Ministry of Defense said: "the burning laser weapon has good prospects, a significant advantage in operating costs, and better coping with British forces facing threats."Future trials will test whether the prototype detection and accurate in a variety of conditions to capture and track the target.At the same time also need to generate and precisely control the high energy laser beam, and ensure the safety of mechanical system.According to the British Ministry of Defence said that the project called "laser directed energy weapons capability demonstration project, the amount of investment between 20 million to 100 million pounds.

Looking for the partner

Britain is trying to join the laser weapons arms race, but the United States has conducted a series of experiments, the laser weapon and installed in the Bay Area in a ship.The British defense ministry is looking for partners to support manufacturing industrial laser weapon prototype, to enhance the ability of the British laser weapon system.

According to the Daily Telegraph reported on August 22: the British Defense Ministry plans to develop a model for high powered laser weapon system prototype test at the end of this year, it will be used at combat in the future.This project will cost 100 million pounds.The goal is to develop a tracking and hitting moving targets high energy laser weapon in any weather conditions .

The British Defense Ministry

The British Defense Ministry official said, for the first time live fire test 1000mw Laser weapon prototype will begin in 2018 to carry out ground test first, then sea trials.Early test target for the UAV, but the output power of the laser weapon prototype can shoot down missiles. Babcock, this paper presents amatrix; the improved of laser weapon prototype design scheme, the small caliber gun replaced with laser, radar and other systems will continue to follow the original system configuration.This design can provide defense by truck equipped with British bases in Iraq, will also be more on RD funds concentrated in the laser system, rather than the fort.As the main contractor, Raytheon has confirmed the feasibility of this system is also installed 20 mm cannon and high-energy laser.

One important step, according to defense news reported in May 25, 2016 British next month towards laser directed energy weapons research and development at that time, the British Defense Ministry will choose a main contractor developed a technology demonstrator, testing system. The British Ministry of defense will be the first in June 3rd to determine the winning bidder, then the company will begin to develop Laser Sight weapon system.At present, to participate in the bidding companies including MBDA company, Lockheed Martin, Thales UK company, Rhine metal company, as well as the team leader Babcock, the team also includes Raytheon, and optical devices Leonardo Finmeccanica company research and production of laser qinetiq.Read more
