RTX Corp Owned Raytheon UK Successfully Tests High-Energy Laser Weapon on British Army Vehicle
Raytheon UK, Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) and Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) have successfully tested Raytheon's High-Energy Laser Weapon System (HELWS) integrated onto a British Army combat vehicle, the first test of its kind in the UK.
英国雷神公司、国防科学与技术实验室（Dstl）和国防装备与支援（DE＆S）已成功测试了集成到英国陆军作战车辆上的雷神高能激光武器系统（HELWS），这是英国首次进行此类测试。
This ground-breaking test, conducted at Dstl's range in Porton Down, saw the laser weapon fired at full power whilst integrated onto a British Army Wolfhound armoured vehicle. The lightweight, portable HELWS is the first laser weapon integrated on a land vehicle to be fired in the UK.
这项开创性的测试是在波顿唐的Dstl靶场进行的，激光武器在集成到英国陆军 Wolfhound 装甲车上时全力发射。轻便、便携的HELWS是英国首款集成在陆地车辆上的激光武器。
This milestone marks a major leap forward in the UK Ministry of Defence's Land Laser Directed Energy Weapon (LDEW) Demonstrator programme. The increasing prevalence, proliferation and evolution of drone warfare makes the rapid adoption of counter-UAS technologies ever more important.
这一里程碑标志着英国国防部陆地激光定向能量武器（LDEW）演示器计划向前迈出的重大飞跃。无人机作战的日益普遍、扩散和演变使得快速采用反无人机系统技术变得越来越重要。
This variant of the HELWS has been designed to defeat NATO class 1 drones whilst being easily compatible within existing air defence systems, including radar, command and control and other platforms.
HELWS的这种变体旨在击败北约1级无人机，同时易于与现有防空系统（包括雷达、指挥和控制以及其他平台）兼容。
