Northrop Grumman Corporation npaj siab tsim nws txoj kev thev naus laus zis thev naus laus zis los ntawm Asmeskas Lub Tsev Haujlwm Saib Xyuas Kev Ruaj Ntseg Lub Tshuab Hluav Taws Xob Hluav Taws Xob Hluav Taws Xob (RELI), uas tau pom tias yog thawj kauj ruam rau kev ua haujlwm tau zoo dua, compact thiab hnyav.
Raws li Kev Tiv Thaiv Tham, Tsoomfwv Meskas Lub Chaw Tiv Thaiv Missile Defense Command hauv Huntsville, Alabama, tau muab Northrop Grumman thawj daim ntawv cog lus $ 8.8 lab. rau lub sijhawm 2 xyoos nrog txoj cai los hloov nws nrog lwm daim ntawv cog lus tsib xyoos hauv qhov nyiaj ntawm 53, 3 lab daus las.
RELI txoj haujlwm yuav tsum nce kev ua haujlwm ntawm cov tshuab laser 30% lossis ntau dua los ntawm kev tsim kab teeb nrog lub zog ntawm 25 kW, nrog qhov ua tau kom nce nws mus rau 100 kW. Nws tau sib cav tias chav tsev zoo li no tuaj yeem tso rau ntawm lub chaw ua tub rog. Tam sim no muaj cov lasers zoo-lub xeev tam sim no, raws li Asmeskas Lub Tsev Haujlwm Saib Xyuas Kev Ruaj Ntseg, muaj qhov ua tau zoo tsis tshaj 20%.
"Qhov kev pabcuam RELI yog qhov txuas ntxiv ntawm peb yav dhau los Kev Koom Tes Ua Haujlwm Zoo Lub Hwj Chim Lub Xeev tau ua tiav, uas tau ua tiav tiav thaum ntxov xyoo 2009," Steve Hixson, Tus Lwm Thawj Coj, Systems Engineering qhia txog lub zog xa mus ntawm lub dav hlau kev lag luam ntawm Northrop Grumman.
"Ua tsaug rau RELI, peb ntseeg siab tias Asmeskas Lub Tsev Haujlwm Saib Xyuas Kev Ruaj Ntseg yuav muaj peev xwm nthuav dav siv lub tshuab thev naus laus zis rau lub hom phiaj tub rog," nws hais. Lub hom phiaj ntawm txoj haujlwm yog tsim kom muaj kev ntseeg tau, siv tau tau uas tuaj yeem siv tau yooj yim ob qho tib si ua ke nrog lwm qhov kev hloov pauv tshiab thiab kev txhim kho ntawm Asmeskas Lub Tsev Haujlwm Saib Xyuas Kev Ruaj Ntseg, thiab cais - los ntawm kev xaj tshwj xeeb hauv txhua ceg ntawm cov tub rog.
