Desert test firing of the OW5-A50 mobile laser cannon, which easily destroys drones, with a single cost equivalent to half a cup of milk tea!
Recently, a set of images from a desert testing ground have made the anti-drone capabilities of the domestically produced OW5-A50 mobile laser cannon go viral. The OW5-A50 in the images is painted in a camouflage pattern, mounted on a high-mobility wheeled chassis, with a clear view of the laser发射舱 and observation system on top, and a high pole lighting equipment next to it, indicating that the interception exercise was conducted in an open testing environment. During the test, the target drone had barely taken off when the OW5-A50's phased array radar and multi-spectral observation system had already captured it 10 kilometers away. Subsequently, the high-energy laser beam precisely locked onto the drone's electronic component area.
Differing from traditional ammunition's physical impact, this laser cannon's 50-kilowatt beam burned through the drone's carbon fiber shell in just 2 seconds. As the top model of the OW5 series, its effective strike range covers 3-5 kilometers, matching the activity radius of small drones; from detecting the target to launching the laser takes only 3 seconds, with an interval of 8 seconds between two interceptions, allowing it to strike 6-8 targets within one minute, far exceeding the operational efficiency of traditional anti-aircraft guns. Each interception consumes only 6 kilowatt-hours of electricity, costing less than 5 yuan, equivalent to the price of half a cup of milk tea.
