BEST DEFENSE AGAINST U.S. LASER WEAPONS

CHINESE WATER MIST CANNON FOR POLLUTION CONTROL CAN BE VERY EFFECTIVE AGAINST U.S. LASER WEAPONRY By Francis C W Fung, Ph.D. The following attached article by Kyle Mizokami from Popular Mechanics the author claimed “The Chinese PLA is experimenting with creating smoke in two ways: creating sulfur trioxide smoke through burning materials (spraying oil on a hot diesel engine is one way to do it) or creating an oily fog. The PLA Chemical Corps plans to use a new multiple canister launcher (pictured) to rapidly lay down protective smoke screens for nearby friendly forces. While this idea is fine and dandy for protecting forces standing still, there are some limitations. A protective screen of particulates is subject to the fickle whims of Mother Nature, and can linger for hours or mere minutes until dispersed by local winds. Smoke also works both ways: a PLA unit being smothered by a protective smokescreen is effectively blinded, and is unable to move lest it lose its protection.” For the information of Kyle Mizokami, Readers of Popular Mechanic and all military experts of the World, China already has in mass production water mist cannons which are used routinely in China for city pollution control. This kind of water mist cannon can annihilate incoming deadly laser beam by scattering light as well as lowering the temperature of the laser beam. Thus this type of water mist cannon can be very effective in defending against U.S. laser weaponry by creating instant fog as a friendly shield. The water mist is nontoxic compared to other chemicals suggested by Mizokami. The beauty of the water cannon fog created is instant and also disperses in a reasonable time if the threat stops. Against continuing laser beam, one can continue to deploy more fog, the energy required by the water mist cannon is low enough to outlast the high power destructive laser beam. For naval operation the supply of water to create fog is obviously unlimited. Thus one can conclude that China already has readily available superior counter U.S. laser defensive weapons. There is no need for Chinese military's Chemical Corps. to develop the next appropriate defense strategy as suggested by Mizokami in the following article. Francis C W Fung, Ph.D. Director General World Harmony Organization San Francisco, CA “Protecting against laser weapons is the latest mission for the Chinese military's Chemical Corps. (To Thwart U.S. Lasers, China Wants Smokescreens)” From Popular Mechanic By Kyle Mizokami May 2, 2016 The U.S. and other militaries are looking more and more into fielding real laser weapons. In response, the Chinese People's Liberation Army is placing new emphasis on actual smokescreens to protect forces on the ground and at sea from lasers. In December 2014, the USS Ponce's Laser Weapons System became the first operational battlefield laser, capable of engaging light aircraft, drones, and small boats with a 15-50 kilowatt laser beam. The U.S. Military, for one, plans to put weapon lasers on fighters, gunships and surface ships. Most, if not all armed forces worldwide will eventually follow suit. Lasers do have their drawbacks: the presence of microscopic particles in the air causes lasers to lose their intensity. Lasers naturally lose intensity over distance due to particulates in the air, a problem that grows much worse if a laser tries to penetrate a cloud, rain, fog, or man-made smoke. According to this article, China's PLA is now working to thwart enemy lasers by creating smoke screens over its own combat forces. These would not only obstruct weaponized lasers, but also laser designators that guide other weapons, such as the Paveway family of laser-guided bombs. The PLA is experimenting with creating smoke in two ways: creating sulfur trioxide smoke through burning materials (spraying oil on a hot diesel engine is one way to do it) or creating an oily fog. The PLA Chemical Corps plans to use a new multiple canister launcher (pictured) to rapidly lay down protective smoke screens for nearby friendly forces. While this idea is fine and dandy for protecting forces standing still, there are some limitations. A protective screen of particulates is subject to the fickle whims of Mother Nature, and can linger for hours or mere minutes until dispersed by local winds. Smoke also works both ways: a PLA unit being smothered by a protective smokescreen is effectively blinded, and is unable to move lest it lose its protection.
