Research abstract
In 2018, the GAO identified 3 of 9 long-range emerging threats facing the United States as hypersonic weapons, missiles and aircraft while the USAF Armament Directorate has identified interest in novel non-kinetic weapons solutions that provide endless magazine depth and do not exceed procurement and inventory costs of existing systems as a baseline for new weapons technologies. Digibeam shall investigate directed energy systems that operate in the atmosphere to establish a baseline feasibility for an endless magazine system that could be scaled up for DEW applications.
