This was previously explored in the Pulsed Energy Projectile, a U.S. Army project involving a chemical laser in the early 2000s which vaporized outer clothing to produce a stunning but non-harmful ...

Or maybe it's around, playing a whole new role as a drone killer. The Pulsed Energy Projectile (PEP) is an infra-red laser that fires a very short burst of energy at the target, causing a ...

Pulsed power is a technology that consists in accumulating energy over some period of time ... generating an electromagnetic field that fires the projectile along the rails.

The Laser Crazer is just the latest example. The big bear of this technology is the Pulsed Energy Projectile, a chemical laser weighing several hundred pounds that's being developed as a nonlethal ...

But even this upgrade wasn’t powerful enough, and a further upgrade followed in 2000 with the Pulsed Energy Projectile, or PEP. After almost a decade in development, the promise of a nonlethal ...

This involves the creation of a pulsed infrared laser that reacts with the surface of a target to cause the appearance of a tiny amount of explosive plasma and a corresponding pressure wave ...

Other weapons can affect the nervous system directly. The Pulsed Energy Projectile fires a short intense pulse of laser energy. This vaporizes the outer layer of the target, creating a rapidly ...

Previously, the Pentagon's JNLWD funded the Pulsed Energy Projectile, a chemical laser that produced a flash–bang effect at the surface of the target. The intent was to provide a precise ...

GA-EMS is an industry leader in the design of high energy density capacitors, which are the foundation of pulsed power systems ... electromagnetic Hyper Velocity Projectile, initially developed as a ...

Currently I’m working on the next generation of launcher, with the aim to reach projectile velocities ... know if a shot went okay! Pulsed power (and all high energy physics really) pushes ...

First Light’s current ‘pulsed power’ machine, Machine 3, launches a projectile at about 20kms per second. First Light is aiming for net energy gain with Machine 4 with fuel gain of 100 or more. This ...
