UNCLASSIFIED, PUBLIC RELEASE Future Lethality and Force Mix of Directed Energy Weapons With the nascent implementation of directed energy weapons (DEW), multinational forces have not fully explored their implications on the force, specifically: —How are we going to fight with DEW capabilities, and do we need to adapt and design the future force to fully maximize the realization of the opportunities and benefits DEW can offer? —What are the implications across the DOTMLPF-I/P Lines of Development resulting from the introduction of DEW in the multinational force mix? —What can be done to mitigate DEW effect to the Blue Force operations? Using clear military challenges, we will assess DEW concepts of employment and operation versus what is technically achievable develop concepts and assess the implication of those concurrent concepts.
