El \u00a0US Army Space and Missile Defense Command<\/strong>\u00a0est\u00e1 trabajando hace a\u00f1os en el desarrollo de L\u00e1seres de estado s\u00f3lido, en el marco de una iniciativa de empleo de sistemas Laser de uso militar. Espec\u00edficamente en el rubro de \u201ccapacidades de protecci\u00f3n de fuegos indirectos y sistemas de armas laser para interceptaci\u00f3n\u201d, se ha impuesto el objetivo de proveer capacidad letal de bajo costo, que brinde protecci\u00f3n contra proyectiles de artiller\u00eda, cohetes y morteros (RAM), as\u00ed como amenazas de UAVs. En \u00f3rden a ello, se realizan numerosas pruebas sobre el High Energy Laser Truck Vehicle Demosntrator (HEL. TVD), para verificar que el sistema disponga, no solamente de las capacidades letales impuestas, sino tambi\u00e9n la rusticidad, \u00a0dimensiones peso y performance requeridos por el US Army. La enorme ventaja que otorga este tipo de sistema es que, siendo el combustible Diesel el \u00fanico efecto consumible, el costo por disparo y eventual \u201cderribo\u201d resulta muy bajo, elimin\u00e1ndose as\u00ed los enormes costos derivados del empleo y log\u00edstica propia de los efectos Clase V (Munici\u00f3n)<\/p>\n

\"Im\u00e1genesThe purpose of the high energy laser tactical vehicle demonstrator (HEL TVD) is to provide a rugged, mobile solid state laser system that meets the size, weight and performance needs of the Army.<\/p>\n

The Fires Center of Excellence defined the Army needs in the Capabilities Development Document for the Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment 2 – Intercept. Future laser weapon systems will provide low-cost-per-engagement protection from rocket, artillery, mortar (RAM) and unmanned aerial system (UAS) threats.<\/p>\n

The objective is to develop and mature laser technologies that will transition from technology development into engineering and manufacturing development.<\/p>\n

What is the Army doing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command\/Army Forces Strategic Command<\/a> is working with other Department of Defense components to develop solid state lasers under the Robust Electric Laser Initiative. This effort will deliver a 60-kilowatt fiber laser system in fiscal year 2017.<\/p>\n

In early fiscal year 2016, the Army directed USASMC\/ARSTRAT to develop a HEL demonstrator, called the “high energy laser tactical vehicle demonstrator,” as an Army capability enabler that would satisfy the requirements in the Capabilities Development Document for the Indirect Fire Protection Capability, Increment 2 – Intercept.<\/p>\n

The high energy laser mobile test truck (HELMTT) currently has a 10-kilowatt fiber laser installed in it and has collected more than four terabytes of data on laser propagation in varying environments.<\/p>\n

HELMTT also participated in the fiscal year 2016 Maneuver Fires Center of Excellence-sponsored Maneuver Fires Integration Experiment, during which it shot down 15 Group 1 UAS targets.<\/p>\n

What continued efforts are planned for the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n
