Design features and problems in development of autonomous mobile cw DF laser systems of various power

Design features and problems in development of autonomous mobile DF laser systems of various power, with exhaust of laser gas flow to the atmosphere, are considered. Various versions of such laser systems design are discussed. The ways and means to reduce the mass and size of the main laser subsystems are analyzed, which allows DF laser with high output power up to ∼300 kW to be installed on various vehicles, like trailer trucks, ships, and so on.
