Directed Energy Weapons

Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs) are advanced systems that use focused energy, such as lasers or microwave beams, to damage or destroy targets. Unlike traditional weapons that rely on projectiles or explosives, DEWs deliver precise, high-intensity energy to disable vehicles, electronics, or personnel quickly and accurately. They can be mounted on ships, aircraft, or ground units and are valued for their speed, accuracy, and reduced long-term debris. While still largely in development or limited deployment, DEWs represent a technological shift toward more precise and potentially faster military capabilities.
