华盛顿讯——计划于1981年底或1982年初进行的传播试验将是决定粒于束武器能否部署的关键,该武器拟将部署在舰上,作为对付苏联的巡航导弹的点防御武器。聚焦很好的电子束的远距离传播试验将能确定其对付目标的效果,这些试验将在加利福尼亚的劳伦斯·利弗莫尔实验室进行。 带电粒于束试验是美国探索研制计划的一部分,将使用利弗莫尔研制的50兆电子伏特的具有先进技术的加速器来开展试验。射束传播试验的成功与否,不仅对海军粒于束武器计划是至关重要的,而且对于全国性的定向能武器计划,即正在国防部内着手进行的那些工作也是重要的（AW＆ST Oct.2,1978,p.14）。
WASHINGTON - Propagation tests planned for late 1981 or early 1982 will be the key to deciding whether or not to deploy a beam of weapons to a ship that will be deployed as a point defensive weapon against Soviet cruise missiles. Long-distance propagation trials of well-focused electron beams will determine their effectiveness against targets, and these tests will be conducted at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory in California. The Belt Beam Test is part of a U.S. exploration and development program that will test the 50 mega-electron accelerator with advanced technology developed by Livermore. The success of beam propagation trials is not only crucial to the Navy’s weapons program, but also to the nation’s targeted energy weapons program, which is what is under way within the Department of Defense (AW & ST Oct.2 , 1978, p. 14).
