Directed-Energy Beam Weapons [electronic resource] /
Zohuri, Bahman.author.
This book introduces modern directed-energy beam weaponry and emerging technical concepts based on unclassified and declassified information. The book covers laser systems, analyzing the interaction between high-power laser beams and matter, and examines penetration of high power beams such as microwave and scalar wave. It also covers the use of particle and high-power radar beams and scalar wave as weapons of the future. In-depth coverage of the relevant mathematical and engineering topics and concepts are included. The book will provide scientists and engineers with valuable guidance on the fundamentals needed to understand state-of-the-art directed energy weaponry technology research and applications. Provides guidance on the fundamentals of state-of-the-art directed-energy weaponry technology; Introduces the physics behind directed-energy weapons; Offers in-depth coverage of mathematical and engineering topics.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
