Programs: Background and Potential Issues for Congress. / :
Andrew Feickert, 2018.
The U.S. military has a long and complicated history in developing
directed energy (DE) weapons. Many past efforts have failed for a
variety of reasons and not all failures were attributed to
scientific or technological challenges associated with weaponizing
DE. At present, a number of U.S. military DE weapons-related
programs are beginning to show promise, such as the Navy’s
Laser Weapon System (LaWs), which the Navy plans to deploy on the
USS Ponce, the first ever Department of Defense (DOD) laser weapon
to be deployed and approved for operational use, according to the
Navy. With a number of U.S. Army weapons-related DE programs
showing promise during concept demonstrations and their potential
relevance in addressing a number of current and emerging threats to
U.S. ground forces, some believe the Army is making progress to
field viable DE weapon systems designed to counter rockets,
artillery, and mortars (C-RAM) and address certain types of
short-range air defense (SHORAD) threats.
