About Directed Energy Weapons System:
- It uses concentrated energy from electromagnetic or particle technology, rather than kinetic energy.
- It uses high-powered lasers to inflict damage on targets.
- It uses directed energy to heat up and destroy or damage the target.
- Capabilities of Directed Energy Weapons:
- Precision and Low Collateral Damage: It can target specific weak spots of enemy systems, motors, electronics, or wings, minimising collateral damage.
- Rapid Response: It engages with targets at the speed of light, eliminating fast-moving threats in real time.
- Cost and Logistics: It has a low operational cost, only requiring a continuous supply of electricity to work indefinitely.
- Counter-Drone and Stealth Technology: It is uniquely positioned to tackle swarm drones while ensuring there are no sounds or explosions, giving them stealth capabilities.
- Applications Directed Energy Weapons:
- It has diverse military applications, offering rapid and precision strikes against threats such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), missiles and small vehicles and can be used in all war fighting environments.
