Warfare is an evolving process where innovations in technology and the application of that technology to military operations combined to provide an opportunity to gain military advantage. Today's military performs missions across the spectrum of warfare. In these roles, operators and planners must leverage technology in order to gain an advantage over their enemy and protect their forces. Directed Energy (DE) weapons (DEW) are at the forefront of the next revolution in military weaponry. These weapons seemingly promise the military planner and operator a wide variety of lethal and non-lethal capabilities to meet the challenges across the spectrum of warfare. The progress the U.S. is making in the development of these weapons holds the prospect of significant new capabilities in both offensive and defensive operations. Important questions remain regarding the use of DEWs on the future battlefield. One of the most important is does current U.S. policy and doctrine adequately address the employment of emerging directed energy weapons? The purpose of this monograph is to explore whether current U.S. policy and doctrine are adequate to employ emerging DEW technology. Second, it will recommend possible areas where doctrine and policy should focus in order to provide the best framework for implementing DEWs into joint operations. This study will address why DEWs are important to our national defense; what policy and doctrine are; current policy/doctrine concerning DEWs; provide an assessment of the current doctrine and policy; and finally provide a conclusion followed by a set of recommendations for future development of directed energy weapon policy and doctrine. The joint publications and policy cited in this paper effectively address the general organization, training, execution, and support of the forces and DE weapon systems necessary to ensure effective execution of joint operations. Further, current doctrine provides general planning methodology, fundamentals, coor This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
