Difference between Directed-energy weapon and Free-electron laser

Directed-energy weapon vs. Free-electron laser

A directed-energy weapon (DEW) is a ranged weapon system that inflicts damage at a target by emission of highly focused energy, including laser, microwaves and particle beams. A free-electron laser (FEL) is a kind of laser whose lasing medium consists of very-high-speed electrons moving freely through a magnetic structure, hence the term free electron.

Similarities between Directed-energy weapon and Free-electron laser

Directed-energy weapon and Free-electron laser have 14 things in common (in Unionpedia): Anti-aircraft warfare, Directed-energy weapon, F. J. Duarte, Infrared, Laser, Microwave, Missile, Office of Naval Research, Raytheon, Synchrotron, Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, United States Navy, Wavelength, X-ray.

Anti-aircraft warfare

Anti-aircraft warfare or counter-air defence is defined by NATO as "all measures designed to nullify or reduce the effectiveness of hostile air action."AAP-6 They include ground-and air-based weapon systems, associated sensor systems, command and control arrangements and passive measures (e.g. barrage balloons).

Infrared

Infrared radiation (IR) is electromagnetic radiation (EMR) with longer wavelengths than those of visible light, and is therefore generally invisible to the human eye (although IR at wavelengths up to 1050 nm from specially pulsed lasers can be seen by humans under certain conditions). It is sometimes called infrared light.

Missile

In modern language, a missile is a guided self-propelled system, as opposed to an unguided self-propelled munition, referred to as a rocket (although these too can also be guided).
