Directed energy weapons and electromagnetic pulse weapons are projected to play an important role in future military arsenals. Early development of directed energy weapons included British exploration of death rays in 1935 and the Soviet Union directing microwave beams at the US Embassy, causing health effects in personnel. Modern directed energy weapons that have been created include non-lethal weapons, high power microwaves used in Iraq, and wireless electroshock weapons designed to incapacitate humans and explosives. Airport protection systems could also use microwaves to create invisible force fields blocking missiles targeting aircraft.

weapons and Electro-Magnetic Pulse (EMP) weapons are projected to be integral parts of the future arsenal of the United States military. From their early development until now, the possibilities that these futuristic arms provide are seemingly endless (blank line) - Early Development (blank line) -- British Air Ministry explored possibilities of a death ray in 1935 (blank line) -- Soviet Union covertly directs microwave beams at US Embassy in order to cause physiological effects on American personnel. (blank line) --- Tangible symptoms of the beams included irritability and extreme fatigue (blank line) --- Three ambassadors died from the effects of the nonionizing radiation (blank line) - Modern Munitions (blank line) -- Several 21st century directed energy weapons have been created (blank line) (blank line) --- All non-lethal weapons are regulated by the Geneva Convention (blank line) --- Unregulated symptoms include pain, vertigo, nausea, and disorientation blank line) --- As recently as the Iraq War high power microwaves were successfully used to destroy Iraqi communications -- There are various emerging directed energy technologies (blank line) --- Wireless electroshock weapons such as StunStrike that are designed to incapacitate humans and pre-detonate improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and incoming rocket propelled grenades (RPGs) blank line)l l --- Airport protection systems such as the Vigilant Eagle that would create an invisible microwave dome around the airport that would block missiles aimed at outgoing and incoming aircraft much like a force field
