On September 3, Beijing's Tiananmen Square witnessed a grand military parade to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

This military parade was not only a historical commemoration, but also a high-tech military display. Multiple versions of laser weapons became the focus of the day, reflecting China's latest advancements in "directed energy weapons".

The multiple laser weapon systems publicly displayed for the first time in this military parade, including vehicle-mounted laser cannons, Mengshi laser air defense vehicles, and ship-borne laser weapons, mark China's advancement to the forefront of the world in the field of new defense technology, highlighting the strong strength of China's national defense science and technology innovation.

How powerful are the laser weapons displayed at the military parade?

The debut of the ship-borne laser weapon LY-1 undoubtedly became the focus of the entire audience. As a futuristic new weapon, it represents a significant breakthrough in the equipment system of the Chinese Navy.

Aim and lock, fire and hit: striking at the speed of light, leaving little room for the opponent to react.

High efficiency and low consumption: The cost per launch is much lower than that of missiles, yet it can accurately destroy drones, unmanned boats, and even incoming missiles.

It holds significant tactical importance: not only can it neutralize threats, but it can also jam the optical sensors of enemy weapons.

What is more noteworthy is that high-energy lasers, high-power microwaves, and anti-unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems have formed an "iron triangle" to make "low, slow, and small" targets nowhere to hide.

The emergence of laser weapons is changing the rules of maritime and aerial warfare.

02 Strategic significance of laser weapons

The advantages of laser weapons are as follows:

Fast - With light-speed strikes, there is almost zero delay in intercepting "low, slow, and small" targets;

Precision - Focus energy to instantly destroy incoming targets;

Province - The cost per launch is significantly lower than that of traditional missiles, offering strong economic efficiency and sustained combat capability.

This is also why the laser weapon in the military parade became the focus: it is not only a piece of equipment, but also a representative of the future form of warfare.

03 From battlefield to industry: The infinite possibilities of lasers

The military field is the cutting-edge embodiment of laser technology, but once it steps off the battlefield, lasers have already spread their branches and leaves in various fields such as industry, scientific research, medical treatment, and communication.

Industrial sensing and 3D contouring in industrial manufacturing both have extremely high requirements for accuracy;

Laser surgery and ophthalmic treatment in the medical field leverage technology to enhance life quality;

In cutting-edge fields such as optical communication and chip manufacturing, lasers serve as the "fundamental cornerstone".

The laser breakthrough in national defense today is supported by the entire laser industry chain.

The laser weapons showcased at the military parade sent us a strong signal: lasers have become an important part of national strategic forces.

As a company deeply rooted in the laser field, we are more aware of the responsibilities and opportunities involved.

The core technological logic behind military weapons is laser positioning. The laser modules and laser diodes we produce are interconnected with those used in national defense weapons.

Whether it's improving power efficiency or making equipment more stable and reliable, every effort we make is contributing to the progress of China's laser industry.

In our view, just as a strong military requires lasers, a strong nation equally necessitates lasers.

Lasers will play an increasingly significant role in various fields, including smart manufacturing, healthcare, green energy, and precision measurement.

We believe that the power of lasers will transform the future, from the battlefield to the factory floor, and from national defense to civilian applications.

The future has arrived, and the era of light has just begun
