Directed Energy Warfare

Directed Energy Warfare in the context of space warfare refers to the use of powerful energy beams, such as lasers or microwave systems, to damage or disrupt enemy satellites and spacecraft. These methods can target electronic systems, disabling communications, navigation, or control functions without physical projectiles. This type of warfare aims to establish dominance in space, protecting one’s own assets while neutralizing adversaries. Unlike traditional weapons, directed energy systems can offer precision strikes and potentially lower collateral damage, making them appealing in high-stakes space conflicts.
