Directed Energy Short Course is a 2-day introduction to electromagnetic energy sources, such as microwaves, radiofrequency, lasers, and sound energy.
This course is especially beneficial for participants who want to see the “big picture” in order to communicate with technical as well as non-technical individuals.
Directed Energy Short Course covers the most important aspects of directed energy technology without getting too involved in the technical nitty gritty.
Participants will learn the basics of directed energy, and how many of its use cases are in the realm of directed energy weapon research.
Additionally, participants will learn about directed energy solutions for commercial applications such as increased precision and reliability from laser tools.
Many military analysts believe the continued development of directed energy weapons is crucial for the U.S. Department of Defense, especially in the area of defeating a range of threats, including drones and missiles.
