今天我打算讲的是战略防御倡议计划中定向能武器的作用。关于广义上倡议计划究竟是什么,诸位已从杨博士的发言中听到综合性的阐述。下面补充一些关于我们如何看待定向能,特别是激光的细节,以及它们在倡议计划中将起什么作用。我想首先指出,定向能计划确实为识别和确证将用于定向能防御弹道导弹主要使命的最有前途的候选材料,作出了技术努力。上 Today I intend to speak about the role of directed energy weapons in the strategic defense initiative. As to what the proposed plan in general is, you have heard a comprehensive statement from Dr. Yang’s speech. Let’s add some details about how we think about directional energy, especially lasers, and what they will do for initiatives. I would like to point out first that the Orienteering Program does make the technical effort to identify and confirm the most promising candidate material that will be used to orientate itself to defend the main mission of ballistic missiles. on
