USAF eyes high-power microwave for directed energy weapons as tech advancesMarked advances in development of high-powered microwave (HPM) technology in recent years could pave...Carlo Munoz, Washington, DCIHS Jane's International Defence Review...
“The promise of directed energy for counter-drone applications is that, in principle, it could have a deeper magazine with a lower cost-per-shot than missiles,” Scharre explains. “We need cost-effective defenses to counter cheap drones.” // Expensive Defenses, Cheap Attacks // The Navy...
He said that Epirus has been experimenting withgallium nitridechips, which have been shown to amplify power in radar and directed-energy applications. Previous microwave weapons have used vacuum tubes, which he said pour their energy “into a huge parabolic dish in a very, very skinny beam and ...
And, current direct-energy systems may not be powerful enough for practical ground-to-space destructive attacks anytime soon; one estimate suggests that a gigawatt-class energy weapon would be required. Despite developing massively powerful lasers for scientific laboratories such as Lawrence Livermore ...
As the ongoing conflict in Ukraine has painfully demonstrated, drones are becoming a mainstay in modern warfare – not just for reconnaissance or isolated missile attacks, but as offensive weapons in sustained campaigns. Worse, the shadow on the horizon is the day when technology has advanced to...

Stalking, electronic torture, shooting with directed energy weapons from the sky A video and two victims reporting the horrible details. Like many other victims they can only conclude that the attacks also are coming from military aircraft. From: Comment accompanying video: - Microwave weaponry...
They proposed a compensation mechanism using a weight estimation matrix to approximate unknown functions and mitigate the impact of virtual attacks, along with an event-triggered dynamic adjustment method to address these issues. Over the past decades, extensive research has focused on the consensus ...
Thermally-modified wood can have a substantially lower moisture content than untreated wood and can have enhanced physical and/or mechanical properties such as, for example, increased flexibility, higher resistance to decay and biological attacks, and increased dimensional stability. In yet another ...
