China's Military Claims 'Huge Breakthrough' On Laser Weapon Technology

SCMP: Chinese military scientists claim to have achieved a ‘huge breakthrough’ on laser weapon technology

* High-energy laser weapons can now operate 'infinitely' thanks to a new cooling system that completely eliminates the build-up of waste heat

* The technology could significantly change the face of battle by extending engagement times, and increasing range and damage, researchers say

Chinese military scientists have announced a major breakthrough in laser weapon technology, claiming they have developed a new cooling system that allows high-energy lasers to operate "infinitely" without any build-up of waste heat.

According to scientists at the National University of Defence Technology, in Changsha, Hunan province, the new cooling system completely eliminates the harmful heat that is generated during the operation of high-energy lasers. The issue has been a major technical challenge for laser weapon development.
