最近的杀伤力验证和减轻风险的试验已证实在90年代后期制造和试验一种接近实用的反导弹机载激光武器系统的可行性。在为期33个月的双承包商方案总设计阶段的头6个月,美国空军的激光武器项目正在系统地提出一些重要问题,以保证关键技术已成熟到足以将激光武器综合到飞机上飞行。在其项目办公室和空军空战司令部里,机载激光武器的作战方案也正在确定。 Recent tests of lethality verification and mitigation have confirmed the feasibility of manufacturing and testing a near-practical anti-missile airborne laser weapon system in the late 1990s. In the first six months of the 33-month double-contractor program design phase, the Air Force’s laser weapons program is systematically presenting some important questions to ensure that key technologies are mature enough to integrate laser weapons into aircraft. In its project office and the Air Combat Command, operational plans for airborne laser weapons are also being finalized.
