High energy military laser systems are already being deployed and expected increase of defense budget will likely accelerate developments along entire lifecycle chain of this promising military technology. The technology for high energy military lasers has been in development for decades. In just a few years the high energy military laser technology will become a game changer at the tactical and strategic level, moving from labs to the battlefield of the 21st century.
“Spending about $1 per shot of a directed-energy source that never runs out gives us an alternative to firing costly munitions at inexpensive threats”, said Chief of Naval Research Rear Adm. Matthew Klunder.
U.S. Navy Zumwalt-class destroyers can be armed with laser weapons.
There has never been a better time for defense industry to capitalize on new technology by bringing it to the market:
- Geopolitical tensions are at all-time high in the 21st century
- Highly probable shift of the next US administration to restoring leading US military role and increasing defense budgets
- Significant US lead in technology development
- Game changing nature of technology, superior defensive capabilities, “doing more with less”, cost advantage.
Altogether these factors will ensure that the high energy military technology market will emerge in the coming decade.
