Directed Energy Weapons

Atomic Particle Beam Space Weapons Research Program

This Report is the result of theoretical and experimental investigation concerning the basic feasibility of particle beam accelerators operated operated as space weapons.

The title "Directed Energy" presumably was coined when the possibility of using electromagnetic radiation directly for target destruction was being considered. It is necessary to define the term "

Directed Energy" as applied to a weapons system where the velocity of propagation is a significant fraction of the speed of light. Directed energy weapons are more feasible for operation in a very low pressure environment and the altitude required for the operation of a directed energy concept is of more than a passing interest.

Continuing studies at Ion Physics Corporation have provided considerable insight into the fundamental limitations of the various approaches to energy projection in the extraterrestrial environment. Of those techniques considered, the charged particle or electrostatic accelerator, the plasma projector and recently developed sources of coherent radiation (lasers) have received the greatest attention due to their relatively promising characteristics for the application.

Laser type weapons are different from particle beam weapons (ions, electrons.) Laser beam weapons are attractive for focusing on a target but suffer from very poor power efficiency and the fact that damage effects are superficial and are likely to cause only sublimation of material.

Information relating particularly to the effects of high energy, high density plasma impact on various materials has yielded a poor prognosis for the usefulness of the plasma system as a tactical weapon. There is a similar paucity of data for the high density photon beam and the nature of its interaction at a solid surface. Rather more data are available relating to the interaction of a high current density charged particle beam from a high intensity accelerator.
