I-US Air Force isiseduze nomgomo wayo wokuhlomisa izindiza ngezikhali ze-laser. Abahlanganyeli bokuhlola e-White Sands Missile Range badubule ngempumelelo imicibisholo eminingi ejikijelwa ezindaweni eziqondiswe emoyeni kusetshenziswa i-Self-Protect High Energy Laser Demonstrator (SHIELD), okufakazela ukuthi iyakwazi ukuphatha ngisho nemishini eyinkimbinkimbi.
Yize i-SHIELD kuyimanje iwuhlelo oluxakile, oluzinze phansi, ubuchwepheshe kulindeleke ukuthi buphatheke futhi bube lukhuni ngokwanele ukuze busetshenziswe endizeni.
Kodwa-ke, asikho isidingo sokusheshisa izinto: imishini endizayo yokulwa efakwe ama-lasers ngeke ivele maduze. I-US Air Force yanikeza inkontileka ku-Lockheed Martin kuphela ngo-2017, futhi ukuhlolwa kokuqala emoyeni ngeke kwenzeke kuze kube ngu-2021. Cishe kuzothatha isikhathi ngaphambi kokuthi isistimu iqale ukusebenza.
Uma ubuchwepheshe busebenza njengoba kuhlosiwe, bungaba nomthelela omkhulu ekuthuthukisweni kwendiza yokulwa. Izikhali ze-laser ngeke zihlasele (okungenani, akukhona lokho ezidalelwe kona njengamanje). Futhi ithuthukiswa ukuze idubule phansi imicibisholo ejikijelwayo ngempumelelo nangeshibhile (kokubili i-air-to-air kanye ne-air-to-ground), kanye nama-drones. Inqobo nje uma zingekho izithiyo endleleni ye-laser, indiza ingase ingathinteki ekuhlaselweni kwemicibisholo futhi ilawule isibhakabhaka ngempumelelo.
