Directed Energy Weapons: Strategic Intelligence
Powered by ![]()
All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.
Directed Energy Weapons is part of GlobalData's stategic intelligence series of reprots on trends within military equipment modernization. The report explores trends in DEW programss, focusing on three key areas: HPSWs, LWS, and HPMs.
After years of continuous research and development, the directed energy weapon (DEW) market’s time to shine is upon us. Developments in Iran and Ukraine have forced world powers, especially the US, to reconsider its C-UAS capabilities, and DEW is being looked to as a key contributor.
After years of continuous research and development, the directed energy weapon (DEW) market’s time to shine is upon us. Developments in Iran and Ukraine have forced world powers, especially the US, to reconsider its C-UAS capabilities, and DEW is being looked to as a key contributor. Certain US programs are being consolidated into the Joint Laser Weapons System contract, driven by expressed interest from various figures in the Trump administration, including the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, as well as the President himself.
The potential benefits of DEW in terms of significant operational cost-saving, a modest logistical burden, and high accuracy have long been extolled by technical specialists around the globe, it is only in recent years that militaries including those of China, Israel, Russia, the UK, and the US have finally been capable of fielding those technologies through integration with existing platforms or capabilities, with a key challenge faced being mounting DEW systems onto mobile platforms while both maintaining accuracy and negating environmental conditions.
Despite technological bottlenecks, the next few years will mark the beginning of both DEW mass-production and use in the field, as militaries look to cheap alternatives to solve the cost-exchange problems behind drone warfare.
