THL lasers against any movment

Laser Antimissile systems are becoming reality. Let me say that again, Laser anti-missile systems are becoming reality. They could be deployed operationally as early as 2007 according to some estimates. Since 1992 the United States military has been testing a variety of laser systems where the laser itself is the weapon. Not just the target designator but the actual weapon itself. Most recently in April 2004 a test was conducted in which a ground based laser system called "THEL" successfully shot down over two dozen Katyusha rockets AND several 155mm artillery shells in flight. Israel is a major participant in the development program as is Boeing, Northrop and TRW.

The system at present is about the size of a standard cargo container. The current plan is to mount the system on a large armored carrier similar to the familiar MLRS transporter. Eventually the system is expected to be small enough to mount on a Humvee. The US Air Force is also testing a system mounted on a custom built 747 which is known as the "YAL" system. The key to the system is being able to generate a one Megawatt laser beam and focus it on a target for a few seconds. The laser generates heat when it impacts the target causing the target to explode.

At the current state of the technology the system is reported to have a cost of under $3000 per shot which makes it very economical compared to the Million Dollar price tag of a Patriot missile shot or the cost of an SM-2 Aegis shot. The Air Force expects to equip fighters with this weapons system within ten years. The effective range of the system is variously reported at 5 miles to 25 miles. Engagement takes place literally at the speed of light.

Many of the specs of the system are not given, the mirror section is pretty reliably reported as being less than 1.5 meters in diameter or roughly the size of "The Dish" Satellite TV antenna. All of the graphics I've reviewed indicate a generator section and a small retractable emitter or "beamer" section. Vibration is reported to be a problem so my assumption is that they want to be able to bring the emitter section inside the vehicle to align it or calibrate it under armor. The various graphics do not agree on the shape of the emitter, some show it as a tube, some show it as a glass fronted box, some show it as similar in shape to a Rolling Airframe Missile "RIMFIRE" type pepper box. The Air Force version shows several different shapes and sizes as well ranging from a nose turret to a top mounted hemispherical fairing. There was a model kit of an ABL ("Airborne Laser") which showed a big dorsal housing mounted behind the cockpit.
