Emerging technology snapshot : directed energy weapons.: D69-70/2023E-PDF

"Directed energy weapons (DEWs) use concentrated energy from electromagnetic or particle technology, rather than kinetic energy, to degrade or destroy targets. DEWs have the capability to damage physical targets over several kilometers with high precision and accuracy. As the technology advances, weaponized directed energy (DE) systems are becoming more powerful, prevalent, and increasingly integrated into air, land and sea platforms."
