The Pentagon has partnered with Stellar Science to expand the US Air Force modeling technology behind its next-generation airborne laser weapons.
Aircraft-mounted laser weapons have the potential to incinerate opposition missile systems, air-to-air fighter jets, drones, ships and ground forces, all without using explosive force, according to Scout Warrior.
Laser technology could replace existing, high-cost missiles, reducing the military's ammunition costs. Air force officials hope to begin testing the weapons in 2021 when the $7 million Stellar Science contract expires. Stellar Science has been actively working on spatial models and simulations for the weapon since 2014.
The project will focus on boosting the power of laser weapons, from 10 kilowatts to 100 kilowatts, air force officials said. The devices use extremely high levels of heat and light energy to "incinerate" targets, senior officials said. And because the 'ordinance,' in this case the laser beam, moves at the speed of light, weapons will be able to eliminate fast-moving targets the moment they are within range.
But obstacles remain before the futuristic weapons are combat-ready. Engineering a compact power source for a laser weapon that is small enough to be mounted on an F-15, F-16, or an F-35 is still in the works, Gregory Zacharias, a chief air force scientist, told Scout. Until the technology is developed, officials have said they plan to fire lasers from larger C-17s and C-130s.
