Domestic laser air defense system appears in the Middle East and can continuously penetrate five layers of steel plates.

　　[Reporter Xu Luming, Global Network Military Report on February 23rd] On February 19th, the 13th Abu Dhabi International Defense Exhibition opened in Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Center, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. Eight China military and trade companies participated in the exhibition in the form of "China Defense" national exhibition group, and the exhibits covered many fields such as airplanes, missile weapon systems, tanks, ships, drones and radars. Among the exhibitors in China, the silent hunter exhibited by Poly Technology Co., Ltd. is one of the most eye-catching weapons. This is a low-altitude laser air defense system independently developed by China, which is also the first appearance of the vehicle-mounted mobile type of this weapon.

　　According to the website of Jane’s Defense Weekly, the "Silent Hunter" air defense system was put into use during the G20 Summit in Hangzhou in 2016. According to the report, according to the brochure distributed on the spot, the standard output power of the "Silent Hunter" laser is 30 kW, and the maximum range is as high as 4,000 meters. The main purpose of the laser is to intercept low-altitude unmanned aerial vehicles, and its laser power is said to be able to penetrate five layers of steel plates with a thickness of 2 mm at a distance of 800 meters, or 5 mm thick steel plates at a distance of 1000 meters.

　　"Jane’s" reporter saw at the scene that the "Silent Hunter" air defense system was composed of equipment units the size of a medium truck, and the official said that it could not be used as an airborne aircraft due to volume and weight restrictions. However, potential customers from many countries have shown strong interest in this weapon system.

　　According to the reporter of the World Wide Web, the "Silent Hunter" low-altitude laser air defense system uses laser beams to deal with drones or aircraft, which has the advantages of fast response speed, high interception hit rate and simple guarantee, and has significant advantages in safety and multi-target response capability. "Silent Hunter" integrates search, tracking, strike and damage assessment, so as to achieve search and capture, lock and track and shoot down the target.

　　Compared with traditional air defense weapons, the "Silent Hunter" low-altitude laser air defense system has the following characteristics: first, it has fast response speed and can "hit where it points"; Secondly, it has high interception hit rate and multi-target strike ability, and can complete target switching and aiming within 6 seconds; Then there is the low cost, which only consumes electric energy, and the cost of one launch power is less than one dollar. At the same time, ammunition is not used, which avoids the troubles of ammunition transportation and storage. And collateral damage is small, and a large number of fragments will not be formed.

　　At present, Silent Hunter provides four power modes, which are 5kW, 10kW, 20kW and 30kW respectively. The interception radius increases from 200m to 4000m, and the capture range of the target is over 4000m. It can intercept targets with a diameter of less than 2 meters and a flight speed of less than 60 meters per second. There are two versions of the low-altitude laser air defense system, which are mobile and fixed. Vehicle-mounted chassis can be installed on 6X6 wheeled chassis, and stationary chassis can be separated into independent parts with each size not exceeding 200 kg, which is convenient for transportation or installation on the top of buildings.
