Transcripts
for the military it opens up a whole new
world of Weaponry no longer the stuff of
sci-fi directed energy weapons will soon
be a familiar site on Royal Navy ships
after the mod announced it's
accelerating its 100 million pound laser
weapons program and introducing them to
the front line in
2027 5 years ahead of schedule targeting
is is done very very accurately we're
looking to Target something about the
size of a one pound coin you know at X
kilm range um once the pointing and
tracking system has locked up that aim
point on the target the laser fires uh
and the laser energy is then focused on
that on that point and the special thing
about laser weapon systems is the
ability to then hold that aim point and
focus all that energy onto the target
the better you able to do that the
faster you achieve the effect on the
target as well so you you burn through
the outer casing you affect you know
what's inside um you know and ultimately
achieve the effect on the Target that
you once this was dragon fire in action
on a test firing in the herdes earlier
this year and this is the damage it can
do on display at dstl the military's
technology Research Center at Porton
down some of the targets they've tested
it on from melted drones and sheets of
Steel to 120 mm mortar shells the casing
turned to molten metal huge amount of
hard work lots of Engineers lots of DL
scientists uh and we got to the point
that we demonstrated the capab ability
so taking raar electrical power
squeezing it down to create a laser beam
and then critically being able to Target
it in quite a complex environment um so
it's absolutely accurate and therefore
all that power ends up on the target
it's a game Cher uh this is a
revolutionary step in terms of
capability from Ukraine to the Red Sea
uavs are an increasing threat in the
battle space off the coast of Yemen in
HMS diamond and HMS Richmond have both
shot down houy attack drones using
conventional missiles in the future
though that could well be a job for
Dragonfire this potentially provides us
an opportunity to lower the cost per
shot um compared to traditional
intercepted missiles which are
sophisticated um and that allows us to
retain those more sophisticated missiles
for the more challenging threats we face
one of the constraints we face is the
size of uh The Silo on a ship that
limits the number of missiles that we
can carry whereas a weapon system like
laser duw provides an unlimited um
intercept opportunity potentially much
lower cost as well Research into the
military applications of Laser
Technology go back to the 1980s and of
course the UK isn't the only one doing
this this was the US Navy ship USS
Portland back in 2020 using a 150 KW
laser to take down a drone the UK has
played catchup but has now become a
world leader in this technology the big
step change which has enabled us to to
do this is actually in the Laser Source
itself where we generate the laser we're
now getting up to these very high powers
and the techniques to actually enable
you to have a very high power um and
high quality beam because you need both
to defeat a Target and it's how you join
those bit those create that beam in the
first place and then it comes out
through the aperture on the beam
director it reflects off the Target and
we used the fire aperture there to
actually analyze the return to play
games with or fine tune that output beam
which now makes it a much more effective
and more relevant weapon for the uh the
Navy and the Army in the years ahead
like All Tech Dragonfire is likely to
become more Compact and enter use with
the Army and the RAF the decision to
accelerate delivery says the mod has
been made possible by its new more
streamlined procurement Model A system
it promises will in future deliver
weapons like Dragon Fire to the front
line much faster Simon Newton forces
