From the devastating alien heat-ray in H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds to the handheld phasers that Captain Kirk wields in “Star Trek,” directed energy weapons have long captured the imagination of science writers and dreamers.
These concepts are no longer the stuff of science fiction. Booz Allen engineers and scientists are helping the Department of Defense develop and operationalize directed energy weapons—which can include a host of technologies, such as high-energy lasers, high-power microwaves, and other related radiofrequency technologies. These technologies offer the potential to provide cost-effective precision force, cutting-edge point defenses, as well as non-lethal applications such as crowd control or disabling machinery.
