Enye yeengxaki ezinkulu kumaxesha akutshanje ejongene nayo Umkhosi wamanzi waseUnited States Yimfuno engxamisekileyo yokugxotha naluphi na uhlobo lohlaselo olwenziwe kwibala lemfazwe apho abanye babavukeli baqala ukusebenzisa iidrones eziguqulwe ngendlela ethe tyaba ukuze bakwazi ukuziguqula zibe ziibhombu zomoya eziyinyani.
Ngelishwa, njengoko sele kuqinisekisiwe, ingxaki yokuba kufuneka udubule olu hlobo lwedrone kukuba imikhosi ifuna iimbumbulu ezininzi kunye nomlilo ukufumana enye yezi nqwelo moya, kunokubabeka engozini enkulu ukuba, endaweni yeeyunithi ezininzi, iidrones ezininzi zihlasela isiseko esinye ngaxeshanye.
Umkhosi wamanzi waseMelika sele usebenza kwi-100 kW laser prototype
Ngale nto engqondweni, ayothusi into yokuba iinjineli zoMkhosi waseLwandle waseUnited States zimisele ukusebenza kuphuhliso lwendlela entsha yokudubula ezi zixhobo kwaye kubonakala ngathi isisombululo phuhlisa isixhobo se-laser esikwaziyo ukubanqonkqoza. Emva kokuba uncedo lwayo lubonakalisiwe, ngoku umsebenzi uyenziwa ukwandisa amandla alo ukuze ube nakho ukudubula iinqwelo-moya.
Ukuba sijonga ingxelo zakutshanje ezenziwe ngu UJames dickenson, umphathi wenqanawa yomkhosi wamanzi kunye necandelo lokhuselo lwendawo, iinjineli zakhe kuthiwa sele zisebenza ekuphuhliseni I-laser ukuya kwi-100 kWSithetha ngesixhobo esithi, xa kuthelekiswa neeprototypes zangoku, simalunga namaxesha ali-10 anamandla ngakumbi, anele ukudubula iidrone zotshaba, iinqwelomoya kunye nemijukujelwa.
Okwangoku inyani kukuba sithetha ngomzekelo omtsha oqala ukuvavanywa ngumkhosi wamanzi waseMelika, nangona iimvavanyo zentsimi ezineeprototypes ukuya kuthi ga kwi-50 kW kulindeleke ukuba ziqale phakathi ku-2018 ngelixa iiyunithi zokuqala malunga izithuthi ezinjenge-HEL-MTT ngelixa, Inguqulelo eyi-100 kW iya kuqala ukuvavanywa ngo-2022.
