Anti-missile plane makes first test flight(CNN)

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The maiden flight of an aircraft that officials hope will one day be able to shoot down U.S.-bound missiles took place Thursday over western Kansas, the Air Force said Friday.

The Airborne Laser is planned as one part of the overall Missile Defense Agencys program to create a shield of defense systems to protect the country from incoming tactical or ballistic missiles.

The test flight, from McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita, Kansas, was the first in a series designed to see if the modified Boeing 747 can still perform properly with its distinctive structural changes. The two-hour flight did not involve the firing of a laser, which is not scheduled to be installed until later this year, Boeing officials said.

The weapon, officially known as the Prototype Attack Laser, Model A-1, is designed to destroy missiles during their early launch stage by focusing a beam on the missiles pressurized fuel tank, causing it to explode.

The oxygen-iodine laser fired from the nose of the aircraft will be capable of burning a hole the size of a basketball in a missiles skin at a distance of 200 miles, generating temperatures hotter than 10,000 100-watt light bulbs, officials say. The actual temperature of the laser is classified, said Kenneth Englade, a spokesman for the project.

In 1996, Boeing won the $1.1 billion project, now worth $1.8 billion, and partnered up with other defense contractor giants TRW and Lockheed Martin to build separate parts of the system.

While the flight tests on the aircraft have begun, the goal of shooting down a missile with a laser has not yet been tested.

The flight test represents a major step forward toward our ultimate goal of shooting down a ballistic missile with a beam of ultra-powerful light by the end of 2004, said the Airborne Laser program director, Col. Ellen M. Pawlikowski.

If the laser tests are successful, the program will be turned over to the Air Force as the first line of defense against a missile attack.

It looks like this could be a very cost-effective way for missile defense. Maybe Taiwan should do more research on this.

Re:Anti-missile plane makes first test flight(CNN)

這欄FromTaiwan兄主要是想討論NMD的ABL﹐因為以開始測試
目前的能力是能在200英里外在飛彈的表面燒開一個棒球大小的洞孔

他老兄認為這是很省錢的方式﹐他認為我國應該考慮一下

很遺憾的﹐有關一些雷射的文章不知何時復原

先說一下幾個基本觀念﹐雷射在大氣運用時最大的問題是在大氣內的衰減及折射﹐
在長距離下﹐使得雷射不是能量不夠摧毀目標就是﹐因大氣喘流折射偏離方向

從上面的新聞看來﹐得知能量應該足夠﹐不過對折射偏離的修正如何還不知道
以前與9999兄討論過這種修正技術﹐中國應該是採用以恆星光度位置等資訊為參考
資料進行修正﹐原則上認為是在沒有光害的晚上可能效果不錯

除了修正技術外﹐目標的定位精度也非常重要﹐通常預警雷達可能有高達數公尺甚
至數十公尺的誤差﹐即使是X波段雷達﹐也有數公尺的誤差﹐對採用破片殺傷的ATBM可
能沒什麼大問題﹐但對殺傷範圍集中在公分等級的雷射可能是個大問題

Re:Anti-missile plane makes first test flight(CNN)

小滬尾, Thanks again,

The reason I brought it to you guys attention is that if it succeeds, the cost is probably close to constant. That is, it is likely to be independent of the incoming missiles. For the conventional missile-to-missile defense, the cost will be linearly portitional to the number of missiles deployed on the other side.

FromTaiwan兄
不客氣
不過老兄還是最好用中文﹐才會有更多的朋友參與討論

就目前的ABL而言﹐如上貼所言﹐修正與定位的技術將是成敗的關鍵
而這方面的技術我國應該是不怎麼夠﹐老實說﹐只有以國際分工的方式來分杯羹
而且這大概至少得等5年

此外﹐這種機載雷射若是無法24小時全天候值勤﹐說實在﹐對台灣的ATBM能力幫助
有限﹐當然﹐可以考慮陸基雷射方式﹐但前述的問題將比機載雷射更複雜﹐而且射
程可能大複縮短

目前﹐防禦TBM最便宜有效的方式還是﹐疏散﹐偽裝﹐欺敵

>不過對折射偏離的修正如何還不知道
ABL的適應控制反射鏡曾宣稱可以把射程延長一倍,應該就知道修正的能力有多強了。
它修正的方法是先打一道雷射測量大氣狀況,再動態調整反射鏡曲面。另外美國NASA最近也開始大規模重新測量全球高空大氣狀況。
另一個跟雷射有關的消息是LM已經開始研究在F-35上安裝固態雷射,預計使用引擎的動力驅動固態雷射,可達到100kW,每發六秒左右的雷射。
但其實其射程可能不會很好看,對戰機的射程可能只有6公里,所以在空對空時可能只能拿來對付近距離目標或是自衛用,使用時腹部會伸出一個雷射頭,也可能在背部裝一個。
所以主要的用途還是特別任務,在極小的空間內精確攻擊地面的軟性目標而不傷及無辜。
LM宣稱雷射的一個好處是:「被攻擊的人將不知道雷射是從哪裡射過來的」。乍聽之下很怪,市面上不是有一堆雷射警報器嗎?想一想就有道理,雷射警報器是偵測低功率的標定雷射,目前沒有人作出可以偵測高功率殺傷雷射的警報器。

這架AL-1是以747-400F貨機改裝而成,機艙內裝置空載雷射系統,機首加裝與VC-25A/E-4B相同的飛椼式受油裝置。

>請問是利用LADAR的原理嗎
LADAR是偵測物體,跟偵測大氣應該沒什麼關係吧?!
印象中 ABL飛機上應該有三具雷射 一具與射控系統測距 一具量大氣 一具真正的武器雷射

flak兄
這個部份是個人最好奇的地方
可否指教一下其方式
因為左想右想找不出其校正模式
如同上面的文章﹐PRC或義大利是採取量測恆星的光度來參考
而ABL上負責量測大氣者﹐小弟還是參不大透怎麼玩﹖
難道是與那個測距系統搭配﹖
