Directed energy is not a fantasy, it is the future in defense.
We live in an era where coercion must be effective against equal opponents and other participants. Many countries are actively upgrading their military power, developing capabilities on land, in the air, at sea, in space, as well as in the areas of cybersecurity and information technology. The population and infrastructure are at risk due to outdated systems.
Some countries already have the means to achieve qualitative changes in mission effectiveness and deterrence by using directed energy (defined as concentrated beams of electromagnetic energy). Today, thanks to five years of significant progress in directed energy, we are at the turn of a new era of defense.
The ability to shoot down a drone with a single pulse is critical today, but this is just a hint of the global changes that are taking place. Owning the electromagnetic spectrum means controlling land, sea, air, and more. For example, in the United States, recent tests have shown the ability to destroy swarms of drones with surgical precision.
Potential applications of directed energy include:

Potential applications of directed energy include:
- Disabling enemy missile guidance systems over long distances.
- Aerial systems capable of clearing thousands of mines over a large area.
- Rockets capable of "firing" tens of thousands of pulses, rendering vehicles and devices useless until their microchips are replaced.
- Systems that accompany satellites, making them virtually impossible to defeat.
