Damage effect evaluation of laser weapon system

In order to evaluate the damage effect of laser weapon system, the damage effect evaluation module of laser weapons was established based on analytical method. The evaluation indexes of the module were the minimum time required to mutilate the target and the diameter of damaged area. The influence factors of the evaluation indexes were discussed, including optical system, beam quality, tracking accuracy and atmospheric transmission. Under different distances, atmospheric turbulence and tracking accuracy, the diameter of damaged area and the minimum damage time were simulated and calculated. Therefore, the correctness of the model was verified.
