C-UAS Directed Energy Weapons

Non‑Kinetic Counter‑UAS: Directed energy weapons (lasers or high‑power microwaves) disable or disrupt hostile drones without firing kinetic projectiles.

Precision Engagement: Combines radar, electro‑optical/IR sensors and tracking to target individual UAVs with high accuracy.

Scalable Effects: Power levels can be tuned for soft‑kill effects (sensor/jamming/failure) or hard‑kill effects (structural/avionics damage).

Rapid, Low‑Cost Engagement: Offers near‑instantaneous engagements with low per‑shot cost compared to missiles or interceptors.

Operational Constraints: Effectiveness depends on range, atmospheric conditions, target size/material, and platform power supply/cooling.

Use Cases & Integration: Suited for base and critical‑infrastructure defense, convoy protection, and integration into layered C‑UAS architectures alongside jamming and kinetic systems.
