According the Official PLA website, China has been updating its home-made blinding laser weapons in recent years to meet the needs of different combat operations.
The main features advantages of laser weapons includes weapon bolt travels at the speed of light, excellent accuracy, damage inflicted by the bolt can be dialed up or down, lasers have no recoil, and the laser energy is more cheaper than conventional ammunition. A laser energy weapon can be used as anti-personnel weapon systems, potential missile defense system, and the disabling of lightly armored vehicles such as cars, drones, watercraft, and electronic devices such as mobile phones. A laser weapon can burn holes in aircraft skins, the hulls of small boats, or the human body. They can heat artillery shells in midair, causing them to explode, or the storage containers at a fuel dump until the fuel ignites. Laser weapons can significantly expand the spectrum of military effect. Laser weapons are precision weapons whose effect is restricted to a tiny spot. At low power, for instance, they can dazzle optronics, so that the users can no longer "see". At higher power levels, lasers can cut or penetrate structures. This can be used for example to destroy munitions or neutralize unmanned aerial systems. The list of applications can be expanded indefinitely. Military lasers are rated by the electrical power they consume, in kilowatt—and eventually megawatt—range. |
