What is Directed-Energy Beam Weapons about?
As we have seen in past decades, the directed-energy weapons (DEWs) are pushing toward a different direction and taking a new approach as directed-energy beam weapon (DEBWs), which is the dawn of new age defenses. This book focuses on new class of weapons that, as we stated, are known as directed-energy beam weapons, which not only have focused on high-energy laser (HEL) but have described particle-beam weapons (PBWs) as well as kinetic energy weapons (KEWs). This book also contains two new chapters: high-power microwave (HPM) as weapon of new approach to directed beam weapons and a new high-energy wave known as scalar longitudinal wave (SLW) which has a new potential as weapon of directed energy. The only difference between these two beam weapons and high-power or high-energy lasers is that these types of directed-energy weapons do not suffer from the deficiency of thermal blooming seen in high-energy laser beams when such laser beam travels through atmosphere, in particular when they propagate as either ground-based laser (GBL) or airborne laser (ABR) systems.
