Product Lines

The Directed Energy Directorate concentrates on six major “product” lines or emphasis areas – technologies that can fulfill a wide range of defense needs. Defensively, these product lines can protect high-value and limited military assets. Offensively, they can strike at the speed of light with little or no collateral damage. Additionally, they can provide high-resolution imaging and sensing of an enemy’s resources.
	Counter Electronics – Disrupt adversaries’ critical military and infrastructure electronics and communications equipment with little to no collateral damage utilizing radio frequency and high power microwaves
		Force Protection – Protect U.S. Forces with directed energy shields and non-lethal weaponry to minimize casualties and reduce collateral damage
	Long Range Strike – Identify, communicate and attack time critical targets anytime; anywhere
		Precision Engagement – Provide scaleable effects from disrupt to destroy on a wide range of tactical targets with limited collateral damage
	Space Control – Provide rapid knowledge of space situations for the combatant commander to ensure freedom of action in space
