USAF conducts wind tunnel testing of directed energy system turret

Posted on by alert5

The U.S. Air Force has carried out wind tunnel testing of directed energy system turret earlier this year.

A directed energy (DE) system turret is positioned on a sting in the 4-foot transonic wind tunnel at Arnold Air Force Base for testing by the Aerodynamics Test Branch of Arnold Engineering Development Complex, March 5, 2021. Aero-optical wind tunnel testing of a DE system is a new capability for AEDC. (U.S. Air Force photo illustration by Jill Pickett)(The appearance of a glow from a laser was simulated for this photo.)
