随着现代高新技术的发展和新型武器装备的不断投入战场使用,防空作战环境和作战模式正在发生着巨大变化。分析21世纪初叶防空作战的战场环境,探讨新概念武器在未来战场中的作用,是世界各国普遍关注的问题。本文仅就21世纪初叶防空作战环境变化和发展防空激光武器的必要性、可行性等问题进行初步分析,并对发展强激光武器的技术途径谈几点意见。一、21世纪初叶防空作战环境及其对防空武器装备的发展需求 With the development of modern high-tech and the continual investment of new-type weaponry and equipment in battlefields, great changes have taken place in air-defense combat environment and operational modes. Analyzing the battlefield environment of early 21st-century air defense operations and exploring the role of new concept weapons in future battlefields are the common concerns of all countries in the world. This article only analyzes the necessity and feasibility of the air defense operational environment change and the development of air defense laser weapons in the early 21st century and gives some suggestions on the technical approaches to developing the enhanced laser weapons.
