Weponary.
Ans-: Recently British government signed a £30m contract with a defence and
aerospace consortium of a new prototype laser weapon. Their was a project
announcednthat was “UK Dragonfire”, coincided it was release with a new Star Wars film, so
it is unsurprising the media coverage of the weapons system it was owed rather more
to George Lucas than to any current reality.

This is UK Dragonfire science fiction, otherwise a really viable defence system? Is it new?
Earlier, we’ve been using lasers for decades in industrial processes, lecture theatres, and
compact disc players.Criminal prosecutor of individuals shining lasers at aircraft do suggest
that lasers have potential and they make a serious damage, and this potential has been
considered for a very long time. In HG Wells’ Martian ‘Heat Ray’ said that War of the
Worlds from 1897 is well over a century old, and the invention of radar originated in a 1930s
that was invented by British scientist Robert Watson-Wattambition to create a British
military “death ray”.

They(UK) have been using lasers in weapons for over 30 years. In Falklands War of 1982,
a shipboard laser weapon designed to blind attacking pilots was deployed, and in 1991 Gulf
Warlaser was used to guide bombs to targets – a technique that is still used by the RAF
today.

However, use of a laser to actually destroy a target directly has proved a much tougher
problem than using it to blind pilots or guide targets.WE have two fundamental problems:
first, getting enough energy, probably 30-60 kiloWatts –it is the electrical consumption of an
average street – into the laser beam; and second, keeping the laser pointed precisely at
same spot for long to transfer that energy.

This new weapon being developed for the Ministry of Defence will therefore have two
major technical requirements to get over these obstacles:that is to make an extremely
powerful laser beam to stay focused on the same point on the target long enough to
critically damage it. A 50cm target 3km away would be less than four thousandths of a
degree in size, and if it was a missile flying at twice the speed of sound, could be moving at
up to 26 degrees per second. It will do manoeuvering to try and avoid being shot down for
good measure.

It is very difficult thing to do. It was need to be done for several seconds at least, while the
high powered laser pours energy into the target. When the target is hitted for a fraction of a
second is unlikely to do enough damage to take out a robustly manufactured military missile
or drone.
The power of light

United States Air Force has been done before, most impressively whose YAL-1 Laser
system successfully shot down several ballistic missiles during flight tests in 2010. However,
the US government spent over £4billion on that project – over 100 times the British
government’s budget. And the Americans unlikely shared many of the secrets behind their
technology.

How much Britain will get for its £30m shot at a laser weapon? Their is, definitely not
something designed to blind people, becausethese are now banned by international
treaty.The prototype should, by the time of testing around 2019, it will demonstrate the
basic ability to track a target such as a weaponised drone or an anti-ship missile, and then
make us sure to put a relatively low powered laser onto it. There will also be a good
understanding of how to power and keep cool an extremely high energy laser, in a
controllable environment, for short periods of time on demand.

The thing that is funded as a research project,that is probably good enough. And after that,
UK will have gained quite a lot. It will make us to think to know how to produce a full-scale
deployable weapon, it will have a cadre of engineers and scientists who understand the
technology of that weapon, and working for the British companies for whom the Ministry of
Defence would want to build an operational system.

The companies and their engineers can also develop commercial products using the same
knowledge (although usually with restrictions on any military usage). But the real fact is
Britain will have a good national understanding of the technologies will also make it much
easier to talk to the US about what they’ve got. It will itself justify the spending of what
amounts to a 1.5% slice of the Ministry of Defence’s £1.9 billion annual research and
development budget.

Qs-:2 A committee has been appointed to investigate

the flaws in the design of your company’s product that
has led to decline in the sales. You will research for a
product with design problems on the internet. Write a
report to the Director Production, explaining the flaw
and how it can be improved to build market confidence
in your products again.

Title:- Improvement in the Power Bank,

Sir,

This is relation to the power bank that our company

designed but there were some issues due to which led to

decline in all product sales.

After reading thousands of reviews the team came to a

conclusion that the main problem were of its weight,

design and fast drainage of battery. We personally used

the product for a month and agree to these problems.

Our team has come to a conclusion that instead of metal

we shall use rubber and steel for the body to reduce its

weight and design can also be made great by rubber. We

shall put more power efficient batteriesin order to maintain

the battery backup.

After all these things we shall do some advertisement in

order to regain the trust and confidence from the

market.
