激光技术应用于海军，不仅可以提高海军现有常规武器的命中率，而且可为海军提供新型战术武器，从而大大增强海军在现代海战中的作战能力。激光在国外海军最成功的应用是激光测距、目标指示以及武器制导等；激光探雷、激光测深仪等已处于试验、试用阶段；而舰载激光武器、激光对潜通讯和激光陀螺等还处在论证、试验阶段。 The application of laser technology to the Navy can not only increase the hit rate of existing conventional weapons in the Navy, but also provide the Navy with new tactical weapons so as to greatly enhance the Navy’s combat capability in modern naval operations. The most successful applications of laser in foreign navies are laser ranging, target indication and weapon guidance; laser ray detection and laser sounder have been in trial and trial stage; while the carrier-based laser weapon, laser on sub-communication and laser gyro Still in argument, experimental stage.
