New Army Truck is Unstoppable


The High Energy Laser Mobile Demonstrator (HEL MD) can hit 90 incoming mortar rounds and UAVs with a 10 kW laser. The test the vehichle went through a broad target set for the system’s target acquisition system, considering the wide variability of target velocities, maneuverability and radar signatures.  As part of the planned enhancement the supporting thermal and power subsystems will also be upgraded to support the increasingly powerful solid-state lasers, according to USASMDC/ARSTRAT officials. They said these upgrades will increase the effective range of the laser or decrease required lasing time on target. Unfortunately there is no video footage that is yet out as its a secret governized military weapon.
