Enye yezinkinga ezinkulu ezikhathini zakamuva ebibhekene nazo I-United States Navy Kube yisidingo esiphuthumayo sokuxosha noma yiluphi uhlobo lokuhlaselwa okwenziwa enkundleni yempi lapho amavukelambuso athile eqala ukusebenzisa ama-drones aguqulwe ngendlela ebucayi kakhulu ukuze akwazi ukuwaguqula abe ngamabhomu e-aerial yangempela.
Ngeshwa, njengoba sekufakazelwe, inkinga yokuthi kufanele udubule phansi lolu hlobo lwe-drone ukuthi amabutho adinga izinhlamvu eziningi nomlilo ukwehlisa eyodwa yalezi zindiza, okuyiyo kungazifaka engozini enkulu uma, esikhundleni samayunithi amaningana, ama-drones ayishumi ahlasela isisekelo esifanayo ngasikhathi sinye.
I-United States Navy isivele isebenza ku-100 kW laser prototype
Unalokhu engqondweni, akumangazi ukuthi onjiniyela be-United States Navy basebenze ekuthuthukiseni indlela entsha yokudubula lezi zinhlobo zezikhali futhi kubonakala sengathi isixazululo thuthukisa isikhali se-laser esikwazi ukubashaya phansi. Ngemuva kokuba usizo lwayo selutholakele, manje umsebenzi uyenziwa ukwandisa amandla alo ukuze likwazi ukudubula izindiza.
Uma sibheka izitatimende zakamuva ezenziwe yi- UJames dickenson, umphathi wamabutho e-missile and space defense, onjiniyela bakhe kuthiwa sebesebenza ekwakheni i- laser kuze kufike ku-100 kW, sikhuluma ngesikhali okuthi, uma siqhathaniswa neziboniso zamanje, sinamandla aphindwe kayishumi, anele ukudubula ama-drones esitha, izindiza kanye nemicibisholo.
Okwamanje iqiniso ukuthi sikhuluma kuphela ngesibonelo esisha esiqala ukuvivinywa yi-United States Navy, yize izivivinyo zensimu ezinama-prototypes afinyelela ku-50 kW kulindeleke ukuthi ziqale maphakathi no-2018 ngenkathi amayunithi okuqala mayelana izimoto ezifana ne-HEL-MTT ngenkathi, Uhlobo olungu-100 kW luzoqala ukuhlolwa ngo-2022.
