  1. Directed-Energy Weapon (DEW) MILITARY EMMERGING TECHNOLOGY

  2. A directed-energy weapon (DEW) emits energy in an aimed direction without the means of a projectile. It transfers energy to a target for a desired effect. Intended effects on humans may be non-lethal or lethal. These effects have been categorized as physical, physiological and psychological. DEW's are used on people who are the targets of operations such as Information Operations (Info Ops) by countries including the UK and the USA. Info Ops are stated to be used by militaries domestically as well as abroad. DEFINITION

  3. DEW's can be used discretely without anyone knowing as radiation used in ranges such as RF (Radio Frequency=3 Khz to 300 Ghz) is invisible and can pass through walls. • Radio Frequency • Microwave Weapons

  4. Active Denial System • Vigilant Eagle • Bofors HPM Blackout Microwave Weapons

  5. Electrolaser • Pulse Energy Projectile General Information on Lasers

  6. On 19 July 2010 an anti-aircraft laser described as the Laser Close-In Weapon System was unveiled at the Farnborough Airshow. • The Zeus laser weapon is the first laser and the first energy weapon of any type to be used on a battlefield. It is used for neutralizing mines and unexploded ordnance. • In 2011, the U.S. Navy began to test the Maritime Laser Demonstrator (MLD), a laser for use aboard its warships. • In 2013 the U.S. began field testing a directed-energy weapon it calls the Laser Weapon System. Highlights on Lasers

  7. Laser beams travel at the speed of light • Because of its extremely high speed, light is only slightly affected by gravity • Given a sufficient power source, laser weapons could essentially have limitless ammunition. • The operational range of a laser weapon can be much larger than that of a ballistic weapon, depending on atmospheric conditions and power level. • Laser beams do not generate sound or light that would be detected by human senses when emitted, so the weapon would not betray its user's position when fired. Main Advantages of Lasers

  8. Maser • Particle Beam Weapon • Sonic Weapon Other Directed-Energy Weapon

  9. Ancient Inventors • Robert Watson-Watt • Tesla • German World War II experimental weapons • Iraq War • Law Enforcement History

  10. Currently, the technology is being considered for non-military use to protect Earth from asteroids. Future

  11. Difficulty Breathing • Disorientation • Nausea • Pain • Other Systemic Discomfort Bio-effects of electromagnetic weapon
