新墨西哥州，白沙飞弹实验场--美国陆军宣布他的“高能激光机动示范车”（HEL MD）在11月18日至12月10日期间，于白沙实验场的高能激光系统测试区（HELSTF）成功射下数架无人机，以及90发以上的迫击炮弹。

高能激光机动示范车由一辆标准的“重型增机动战术卡车”（HEMTT）搭载电力驱动的固态激光器组成。目前高能激光机动示范车使用的是10千瓦的激光，下阶段测试将改用50千瓦激光，最终希望达到100千瓦，以增加射程并减低激光照射目标所需时间。

陆军的“空间飞弹防御指挥部”（SMDC）宣称此为高能激光机动示范车的首次全程示范。示范车包含了激光器与瞄准系统。另有一套“增强型多工态雷达”（EMMR）提供辅助的目标排序服务。

迫击炮弹飞行速度低，距离短，弹道高曲；无人机的速度更低。激光炮以光速前进，除了电子计算过程以外，基本上可以实时瞄准实时击中，不须加入前置量。

高能激光机动示范车的设计目标为对抗火箭弹，炮弹，迫击炮弹，无人机以及巡航导弹。本计划由空间飞弹防御指挥部统一管理。

高能激光机动示范车早期的低功率测试在2011年完成；本阶段测试也已在高能激光系统测试区告一段落。主承包商是波音公司。

美国海军有他自己独立的高能激光武器系统，很简单地取名为“激光武器系统”（LaWS）。那套船用系统由6件5.5千瓦激光非相干式叠加而成，总功率为33千瓦，也已成功射下无人机。

U.S. Army's vehicle-mounted High Energy Laser Mobile Demonstrator shoots down UAVs, mortar rounds

White Sands Missile Range, NM--The U.S. Army announced that its High Energy Laser Mobile Demonstrator (HEL MD), a truck-mounted electrically powered solid-state laser, has shot down several unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in flight, as well as more than 90 mortar rounds. The tests were held between November 18 and December 10, 2013 at the High Energy Laser Systems Test Facility located at White Sands Missile Range.

The HEL MD is mounted on a standard Army battlefield truck called the Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck. The 10 kW laser currently in the HEL MD will be boosted to 50 kW for future tests, with an eventual upgrade to 100 kW, to increase the effective range of the laser and/or decrease the required laser dwell time on the target.

First "full-up" test
The Army Space and Missile Defense Command (SMDC)/Army Forces Strategic Command says that this was the first full-up demonstration of the HEL MD in a configuration that included the laser and beam director mounted in the vehicle. A surrogate radar called the Enhanced Multi Mode Radar supported the engagement by queuing the laser.

Mortars travel at low velocities for short ranges in high-arcing trajectories; most UAVs, of course, travel at even lower velocities. Because everything in a laser shoot-down (other than the electronic processing) happens at light speed, there is no need to lead the UAV or mortar when aiming.

The HEL MD is being developed to shoot down rockets, artillery, mortars, UAVs and cruise missiles. The HEL MD program is managed by SMDC's Technical Center.

Earlier low- and medium-power test demonstrations took place in 2011; high-power testing is now concluded at HELSTF. The Boeing Company is the prime contractor for the HEL MD program.

The U.S. Navy has its own high-power laser weapon system, appropriately called the Laser Weapon System (LaWS). The ship-mounted laser has six incoherently combined 5.5 kW fiber lasers; the multimode 33 kW beam has been used in tests to shoot down UAVs.
