Directed Energy Weapons Market by Technology|Global Opportunity Analysis & Industry Forecast|Size & Trend 2015

Directed Energy Weapons Market Overview :

Global Directed Energy Weapons Market is estimated to reach $48.5 billion by 2024; growing at a CAGR of 25.4% from 2016 to 2024. Weapon that emits or releases focused energy and that can transfer that energy to damage or destroy a target is termed or known as directed energy weapons (DEW). These are known to produce extremely powerful beams or rays. They mostly use single or only one optical system to simply focus it in the target or to track the target. Additionally, these rays can be effortlessly re-directed by mirrors to harm the targets that are not noticeable from the source. Lasers are considered or known to be most matured type of DEW weapon.
