Lasers Coming to USAF Fighter Jets By 2021

Citat:If all goes according to plan, Air Force tactical fighter jets will fire lasers in 2021, testing capabilities from the service’s now completed laser triad’s new weapon system.

The Air Force Research Laboratory closed the triad Monday, awarding Lockheed Martin a $26.3 million contract to design, develop, and produce the actual laser portion of the lab’s Self-protect High Energy Laser Demonstrator (SHiELD) program. With SHiELD, AFRL hopes to create small yet powerful laser systems on tactical aircraft for self-defense purposes, with focus on ground-to-air and air-to-air capabilities.

The laser portion of the program, Laser Advancements for Next-generation Compact Environments (LANCE), means Lockheed is on the hook to convert electricity to laser in a method strong, small, and efficient enough to be practical on the air combat stage. The purpose of the laser itself is to direct a beam of photons at a target, be it an incoming missile or maybe an adversary, and heat it up to the point of disability or destruction.

Lockheed’s laser weapon systems senior fellow, Rob Afzal, told reporters Tuesday the laser had to be “very compact,” reliable, and rugged, presenting a challenging project for the company.

Afzal said he “wouldn’t be able to discuss range,” among other details of the project. Also, the power of the LANCE laser—how much directed energy it can deliver—or the specific aircraft on which AFRL plans to mount it were “too sensitive” to discuss, a Lockheed spokesperson said. However, some of the capabilities Lockheed has demonstrated in the realm of directed energy to-date paint a picture of what its lasers can do.

Lockheed released video in late September of its Advanced Test High Energy Asset (ATHENA) laser destroying UAVs.

Top USN admiral warns Congress on aviation fleet
Citat:"At the beginning of October, in our Super Hornet community alone, only half of our total inventory of 542 aircraft were flyable, or mission capable,” Vice Adm Mike Shoemaker states in a written testimony to lawmakers this week. “Only 170 or 31% of the total inventory were fully mission capable and ready to 'fight tonight.'"

Ovo nisam ja pisao nego američki admiral. Istina o američkoj armiji je surova ali neki nikako da se pomire sa tim.
U intervju časopisu Air Force Times Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson je iznela poražavajuće podatke i o stanju u USAF. Na kraju fiskalne 2016. godine USAF je imao manjeka od 1500 pilota a 31. oktobra 2017. godine taj manjak je povećan na 2000 pilota od čega je 1000 pilota lovaca. Ako se nastavi ovaj trenda već početkom 2019. godine će USAF morati da iz inostranstva povuče najmanje 3 lovačka skvadrona (a verovatno i više). Trenutno se su skvadoni van SAD borbeno spsobni ali po cenu "stradanja" skvadrona u SAD. Piloti masovno odlaze jer ne mogu da izdrže neprekidna ratna dejstva. Mnogi piloti imaju preko 10 tura a neki od njih i 15 pa čak i 17 tura. Premda je po propisima predviđeno maksimalno 3 turnusa a izuzetno 5 turnusa.

americka filosofija ratovanja je nije da se ta zemlja brani - na svoju teritoriju, nego ofanzivna, preko svoje isturene baze koje su preko 500 po svetu.
Dok ne povuku svoje vojnike da brane svoju zemlju unutar svojih granica, nece se niko naradovati koliko su ameri u jadnom stanju.
Projekcija sile po svetu i dominacija u vazdusnom prostoru nije Coast Guard, Homeland security ili National Guard , nego 10 nosaca aviona - sa avionima . Avioni nose oznake US Navy, ali su ipak- avioni, a njihov broj, iskustvo pilota, i stanje letelice, nije za podcenjivanje.

Americke vazdusne snage kompletno su nezavisne od CONUS, njihove vazduhoplovne baze po svetu odrzavaju dominaciju pola veka. Podatak o spremnosti americke vojske da "brani svoju zemlju na granicama meksika ili kanade" nije vazan, jer njima su pre svega vazni njihovi vojni efektivi van americke teritorije.
surova istina o stanju americke vazdusne snage, jeste da njima zvoni alarm i kada nema dovoljno sladoleda u restoranima USAF , ali ipak ne znaci da su "gotovi su, motke u ruke da ih dotucemo".
Citat:Piloti masovno odlaze jer ne mogu da izdrže neprekidna ratna dejstva. Mnogi piloti imaju preko 10 tura a neki od njih i 15 pa čak i 17 tura
neprekidna ratna dejstva?
gde to, amerikanci neprekidno ratuju , posebno ovi iz USAF?
