Representatives of the company Rheinmetall AG advised to carry on the range in the Swiss Ochsenboden successful drop test of his laser fighting.
With considerable delay Rheinmetall announced the completion of the training ground in the Swiss Ochsenboden combat laser demonstrator test. In July the company announced that tests will be conducted in late September (see: European laser combat ). In a statement released yesterday, however, revealed no specific dates.
Yet we know that the first two modules of the laser used, giving a total of 10 kW of power. With a shorter reaction time set.
Been two successful attempts. During the first destroyed the mortar projectile (laser of this power is able to increase the temperature of the projectile so that it comes to the explosion of an explosive charge). In the second beam of light hit and destroyed an unmanned target.
In another test, laser, firing a beam of 1 kW destroy a moving target, imitating the armed boat. He was also able to eliminate the mock explosives.
Tests, with invited guests, demonstrated the efficiency of a demonstrator. The manufacturer does not disclose, however, even an approximate date of offering serial sets. It is planned that the prototype in the target configuration, with a capacity of 100 kW and 10 km-range shot should be ready in 2016.
