Nice find! Something I found funny about that was.. “"America should also take advantage of the brain power that traditional U.S. allies and partners can offer in the development of these technologies so they can be developed together."”
How about No.
Isn’t that how technology gets stolen and sold so easily? We trust people whom we think are friends, ultimately to get taken advantage of.
Pretty decent high level engineering overview of energy weapons. One of my favorite group of “toys”. Short version for frens: we can crispy critter the enemy’s fancy electronics of their offensive and defensive weapons systems as well as infrastructure targets. Note the huge aftermarket costs to protect existing systems.
“This webinar introduces directed energy weapons (DEWs) and their effects – specifically, high-power, radio frequency/microwave (HPM) DEWs. The presentation covers what HPM weapons are, the types of weapons – narrowband and wideband, how the weapons are similar to, but different from traditional electronic warfare (EW) and electromagnetic pulse (EMP), and how the HPM energy couples into a target’s electronics and their effects. We also cover some of the basic modeling and simulation tools for computing and estimating the probability of target failure as a function of weapon power density and range. Finally, we show an example of how to determine hardening requirements for a notional helicopter against an HPM weapon.”
