AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

High-power laser systems are limited in neutralizing large targets such as helicopters and have range limitations, while missiles are expensive and unsuitable for small targets, necessitating the preparation of both systems, which reduces operational efficiency.

Method used

A laser irradiation device that switches between neutralizing targets with a high-power laser and guiding a missile to the target using a modulation unit, allowing the device to emit a high-power laser without modulation for neutralization and with modulation for guidance.

Benefits of technology

The device can effectively neutralize small targets and guide missiles to large targets, reducing the need for multiple systems and enhancing operational efficiency by using a single system for various targets.

Abstract

To provide a laser irradiation device that can irradiate a target with a high-power laser and can switch the use of the high-power laser depending on the target being addressed.SOLUTION: A laser irradiation device irradiates a target with a laser, and comprises a switching unit that switches between a first process in which the laser is used to neutralize the target and a second process in which the laser is used to guide the laser to the target, a light source unit that can emit a high-power laser that can neutralize the target, and a modulation unit that irradiates the laser emitted by the light source unit to the target without modulating it in the first process, and modulates the laser emitted by the light source unit to irradiate the target with the laser in the second process.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
