said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese devices do offer the potential for a whole new class of weapons and capabilities which may complement (but not replace) existing kinetic energy (KE) weapons and electronic warfare.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kinetic energy weapons \u2014 bullets, shells, missiles and bombs \u2014 can hit stationary targets but cause collateral damage and have unattended consequences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHigh Energy Laser (HEL) weapons, by contrast, begin delivering the laser beam\u2019s energy to the target at the speed of light,\u201d according to the report.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, they require a finite dwell time to accumulate enough thermal energy (heat) on the aim point to achieve the desired effect (similar to a blowtorch).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe strength of an HEL weapon is its ability to precisely deliver a limited quantity of energy to a small spot with little collateral damage to nearby objects of people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpeed-of-light energy transfer, coupled with precision tracking, allows HEL weapons to efficiently engage softer targets which are highly maneuverable, only visible for short periods of time or at extremely long range.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"732\"
