SPIE Defense + Commercial Sensing: Uniting The Photonics Industry And Business

Bringing industry and key stakeholders together to ensure that both the optics and photonics industry and the U.S. Government are positioned to take advantage of each other’s strengths and ongoing programs.

Beyond Iron Dome: Is Defending Against DEWs Possible

As of this writing the conflict between Israel and Hamas is approaching 50 days (or 36 years, depending on how you choose to define it). While Hamas most likely doesn’t have directed energy weapons at its disposal several countries do. Is an Iron Dome-like defense system possible for the inevitable day when directed energy weapons are used for an attack?
