Directed energy weapon

Reduce the effectiveness of enemy directed-energy weapons. 

Directed Energy Weapons. Directed-energy weapons are likely to cause large numbers of casualties and equipment disruptions if countermeasures are not in place. Health service support units have adequate organization, doctrine, and resources to address low-level lasers. 

A sober, and sobering, assessment of the possibility of military application of FELs (and other lasers, as well as other possible directed energy weapons) has been given very recently (99). 

AFC technology is also under development for a number of other air-vehicle system applications. These applications include the control and stabilization of aircraft wakes in the vicinity of directed-energy weapons augmentation or replacement of conventional aircraft-conpol effectors, such as trailing edge flaps and suppression of acoustic loads for internal weapons bays.

C. Food harvested from an area that is contaminated by radiation may present a hazard. Meats and milk are the most vulnerable products because of the possibility for concentrations of radioactive isotopes (strontium, cesium, and iodine). All unpackaged and uncovered food, such as vegetables, fruits, and carcass meats, should be considered contaminated if obtained from a known area of contamination. If food supplies are critically low, the contaminated supplies may have to be consumed. In this event, it may be advisable to dilute the contaminated food by mixing with uncontaminated food. For more information, see page 1-34 of Effects of Nuclear Weapons and Directed Energy on Military Operations published by the AMEDD Center and School. 

The aim of a kinetic energy weapon is temporarily to restrict the intended target by the imparting of direct physical force. 

World War II was ultimately a contest between economies, and victories were a direct result of effective resource mobilization. The atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 released a tremendous amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation the development of that weapon... 

During the early years of the Second World War, Emmett directed an important National Defense Research Committee project at Hopkins that involved the use of adsorbents in gas masks to remove poison gases. In 1943 he became a division chief in the Manhattan Project, dealing with enrichment by diffusion of uranium isotopes for use in nuclear weapons. From 1945 until his death he was a consultant to the Atomic Energy Commission on peacetime uses of atomic power. 

The International Atomic Energy Agency organized a series of interlaboratory comparisons for calibration purposes. Those completed so far include two seawater, one seaweed Fucus vesiculosus), and one sediment sample. These materials were contaminated in nuclear waste disposal situations and, in consequence, contain transuranic elements in concentrations much higher than those found in samples contaminated by global fallout of nuclear weapons testing debris. Nevertheless, the data speak directly to questions of calibration of detectors and yield...
