Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs) are advanced systems that use focused energy, such as lasers or microwaves, to damage or disable targets. Unlike traditional weapons that rely on kinetic energy, DEWs deliver energy directly to the target, allowing for precise strikes with minimal collateral damage. They can be used for various applications, including military defense and crowd control. These weapons are being developed by various military organizations around the world, including the U.S. Department of Defense. DEWs offer advantages like speed, as they can engage targets almost instantly, and cost-effectiveness, since they can reduce the need for conventional ammunition.
