Counter Directed Energy Weapons System

Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs) are an emerging weapon technology with the ability to change the face of the battlefield. DEWs provide the ability to perform speed of light engagements on a target from potentially hundreds of miles away or even from space based platforms. As the technology matures other countries will undoubtedly pursue DEW development. Therefore it is imperative that the United States develop countermeasures to defend U.S. forces and assets against the DEW threat. Adsys Controls, Inc. proposes a system to disrupt the core elements of a DEW to render it ineffective. The approach utilizes low-cost components providing a low-risk system implementable on a wide range of military and non-military assets. The key elements of the Adsys Counter DEW (CDEW) system are an early threat detection mechanism that occurs prior to high power engagement and the ability to deploy novel countermeasures to disrupt the DEW tracking mechanisms.
