"Change the War between Great countries": Valkyrie laser guns at 300 kW will be delivered to the APC

The integration of laser systems into the combat management systems and the use of Radar Sentinel can at times increase the capabilities of aircraft. The US Army will equip its fighting vehicles such as a powerful Valkyrie laser weapon, which is 300 kW. Lockheed Martin will be supplied, Warrior Maven reports. The ability of the Valkyrie system ("Valkyria") will produce a power of 300 kW significantly increases the firearms of armored personnel carriers and other terrestrial platforms.

The US military is currently using less powerful lasers. For example, a system of directional energy and air defense of the melee (de M-sarad), known as Guardian and installed on machines Stryker, reaches a maximum output power of 50 kW, emphasizes the media. Valkyria systems should be delivered armies in the third quarter of the 2025 financial year. This technology can protect against a wide range of threats, such as drones, rockets and even planes, given the high accuracy of firing.

Valkyrie laser weapons distinguish its strategic versatility. The system is intended for deployment on mobile ground platforms that provide 360-degree protection against flying shells. Integration of these laser systems into airfilling and anti -missile defense combat systems plus the use of Radar Sentinel can at times increase the capabilities of nearby air defense.

Lockheed Martin emphasizes that the laser installation will provide more efficiency than the usual PV tools and indicate the low cost of its operation, which is a undoubted plus, although the system itself is not cheap. But it does not require the cost of production of shells and can be operated "forever". The Walkiria project is implemented as part of the "High Energy Laser Scaling Initiative, Helsi) initiative.

The US Armed Forces seek to integrate laser systems and energy systems into different platforms as soon as possible. The main goal is to provide comprehensive protection for US troops and improve critical important infrastructure that protects against air threats. "This laser weapon has enormous potential, unsurpassed power and can override the future of hostilities, especially in the context of conflict between the great powers," the authors of the material emphasized.
