Everything about Directed-energy weapon
Type of weapon that fires a concentrated beam of energy at its target
A directed-energy weapon (DEW) is a ranged weapon that damages its target with highly focused energy without a solid projectile, including lasers, microwaves, particle beams, and sound beams. Potential applications of this technology include weapons that target personnel, missiles, vehicles, and optical devices. Wikipedia →
