洛杉机讯——架时速500海里、飞行高度大约1500英尺的无人驾驶靶机,在新墨西哥州白沙导弹靶场最近的一次武器杀伤效能试验中,被海军的中红外先进化学激光器(MIRACL)拦截并摧毁。进行这样的试验尚属首次,其目的是用相隔一定距离的中红外先进化学激光器的激光与功率摧毁一个空中飞行目标,以验证该系统在战术环境中的军事应用。9月18日进行的这次试验也进一步确认了激光器和光束传输的设计,并使以前的静态杀 LOS ANGELES - UAVs flying at about 500 feet per hour and flying at about 1,500 feet were intercepted by the Navy’s Advanced Infrared Chemical Laser (MIRACL) during the most recent weapon kill effectiveness test at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. And destroyed. This is the first such experiment to destroy an airborne target with lasers and power from advanced infrared chemical lasers at a distance to validate the military’s use of the system in tactical environments. This experiment, conducted on September 18, further confirmed the design of the laser and beam transmission and allowed the previous static kill
