Directed energy weapons, kinetic energy weapons are also known as why weapons

Directed energy weapons, also known as beam energy weapons, is a kind of utilization of a certain way in the surface of the object to produce a very high energy density, so as to make the enemy's personnel and electronic equipment, weapons, etc. to be harmed, and produce a powerful lethal weapons.

Relying on the carrier of the energy it emits, directed energy weapons can be divided into laser weapons, microwave weapons, particle beam weapons, acoustic weapons, radio frequency weapons and so on. It uses the energy of laser, microwave, particle beam, acoustic wave, etc. to produce high temperature, ionization, radiation, acoustic wave and other integrated effects, thus causing damage to the target.

Characteristics of Directed Energy Weapons

Compared with traditional weapons. Characterized by:

1, can shoot directly at the target at or near the speed of light, instantaneous hit, the target is difficult to avoid.

2, fast transfer of firepower, can be in a short period of time to attack multiple targets in succession, flexible and rapid response.

3, highly concentrated energy, collateral damage is small.

In directed energy weapons, laser weapons and high-power microwave weapons are the fastest growing. Among them, laser jamming and blinding weapons in some countries have been equipped with troops. High-power microwave weapons after years of development, the technology is becoming mature. Particle beam weapons development is slower, is still in the research and exploration stage.
