January 1986
The conclusions are that such large-scale space ballistic missile defense systems employing high intensity lasers operating at frequencies at which the atmosphere is substantially transparent, may have the potential for causing devastating surface fires so massive that severe climatic effects similar to those addressed in nuclear winter calculations may ensue.
Rough calculations indicate that a laser defense system designed to be powerful enough to cope fully with the ballistic missile threat posed by either superpower might also have the potential of initiating massive urban fires and even of destroying the enemy's major cities by fire in a matter of hours.
Rough calculations indicate that a laser defense system designed to be powerful enough to cope fully with the ballistic missile threat posed by either superpower might also have the potential of initiating massive urban fires and even of destroying the enemy's major cities by fire in a matter of hours.
Such mass fires might be expected to generate smoke in amounts comparable to the amounts generated in some major nuclear exchange scenarios.
Since it is primarily the effects of the smoke generated by fire in a nuclear war which lead to nuclear winter, it appears that a climatic catastrophe similar to nuclear winter might also result from such a ground-target-directed application of intense laser beam weapons from a large-scale system similar to a ballistic missile defense system.
What is the technical basis for such a judgment? We limit our attention to lasers, and exclude from consideration other weapons proposed for the arsenal of SDI. such as x-ray lasers, kinetic energy weapons, neutral particle beams, and laser-channeled electron beams. Only space-based or ground-based lasers operating at wavelengths at which the atmosphere is substantially or appreciably transparent are relevant. (However, since systems information available in the unclassified literature is rather limited, data on laser weapons systems operating at other wavelengths will also be used for illustrative purposes.)
Let us now examine the capability of a large-scale defensive system similar to what has been envisaged in connection with SDl for employing high-intensity lasers to initiate mass fires.
Each such laser would be designed to be operable for at least 150 seconds, the accessibility time for boost-phase intercept for boosters resembling the U.S. MX missile. Thus, assuming a negligible slewing time of the beam from target to target, each such laser could deliver the nominal fluence for ignition of fires at over 10,000 separate locations during the 150 seconds of total use. (These are order-of-magnitude numbers only. For more details, see the Appendix.)
What would be the efficacy of 10,000 separate simultaneous ignition points within a city in creating mass fires, such as conflagrations or in particular a fire storm? Experience during World War II may provide some guidance. Conflagrations, as distinct from fire storms, are mass fires having moving fire fronts which can be driven by the ambient wind. The fire of a conflagration can spread as long as there is sufficient fuel. Conflagrations can develop from a single ignition, whereas fire storms have been observed only where a large number of fires are burning simultaneously over a relatively large area.
Conflagrations can develop from a single ignition, whereas fire storms have been observed only where a large number of fires are burning simultaneously over a relatively large area.
In a fire storm, many fires merge to form a single, convective column of hot gases rising from the burning area and strong, fire-induced, inwardly radially-directed winds are associated with the convective column.
The conditions under which a firestorm may be expected are not well known. However, based on World War II experience with mass fires in Germany and Japan, the minimum requirements for a firestorm to develop are considered by some authorities to be the following: (1' at least 8 pounds of combustibles per square foot of fire area, (2) at least half of the structures in the area on fire simultaneously, (3) a wind of less than 8 mph at the time and (4) a minimum burning area of about half a square mile. Since urban flammable material burdens average 10 grams/cm in city centers, corresponding to about 20 lbs./square ft, under suitable weather conditions there is the potential for creating a firestorm if more than half of the structures in an area of half a square mile or more can be ignited simultaneously.
For a ballistic missile defense of the type that has been considered in connection with SDI, there would be a constellation of a large number of such battle stations deployed in orbit above the earth.
In the example under consideration, there would be 160 separate lasers of the type just examined orbiting in the base case (or possibly even 10 times as many should arsenals increase, or the system be enhanced to cope with fast-burn boosters).
Thus, substantially all of the major cities of either superpower could be targeted for radiative thermal attack by intense lasers, with the potential for creating mass fires in all of these urban areas within a matter of hours.
It should be noted that the estimates above take into account only the potential of the boost-phase portion of a large-scale ballistic missile defense system for incendiary attack application. Laser systems associated with post boost, midcourse, and terminal defense might enhance the incendiary capability of a large-scale missile defense system by an order of magnitude or more.
Prior calculations using somewhat different assumptions, and considering other types and configurations of lasers, indicate the possibility of even greater efficacy of a large-scale laser ballistic missile defense system for incendiary attack, and suggest up to a total of 100 million separate ignition points.
Could severe to catastrophic climatic effects like those of nuclear winter follow such a laser attack? Turco et al. found nuclear winter effects even in their 100 Mt city attack scenario, an attack which corresponded to burning 100 fajor cities with no other significant destruction.
Since an attack on cities by a large-scale laser weapons system similar in characteristics to those associated with directed energy missile defense systems appears to have the potential of creating massive urban fires in over 100 cities within a matter of hours, there appears to be a serious possibility that a nuclear winter could ensue directly from such a large-scale laser attack, without a nuclear war.
What happens if we add up a bunch of laser pointers and give them a really big Battery?

Nowadays, directed energy weapons (DEWs) are nothing new to mankind. They were discovered a long time ago when the famous Greek Archimedes allegedly used polished parabolic mirrors to direct sunlight on the sails of Roman ships while defending the city of Syracuse in order to destroy enemy ships with fire. The device made by Archimedes was used to focus sunlight into approaching ships using mirrors acting collectively as a parabolic reflector, causing them to catch fire.
The US Department of Defense (DOD) defines, in Electronic Warfare, a directed-energy weapon as “an umbrella term covering technologies that produce a beam of concentrated electromagnetic energy or atomic or subatomic particles”. DEWs are a part of an electronic attack, along with High Power Microwave, Electromagnetic Pulse and Radio Frequency having an important role in the combined operations and destruction of the enemy by combined kinetic and electromagnetic attacks. Also, they use non-kinetic directed energy, which is used as a direct means to incapacitate, injure, kill people, or to incapacitate, degrade, damage or destroy objects.

Problems with FCC RF Regulations:
Potential cellular wireless radiation impacts have not been fully accounted for in current FCC regulations on radio frequency (RF) exposure safety. Current FCC regulations regarding RF radiation, not officially updated since 1996, only place specific absorption rate (SAR) limits on devices operating at frequencies up to 6.0 GHz. In 2012, the FCC itself has admitted that “SAR measurement procedures required for testing recent generation wireless devices need further examination.”
SAR is the measurement of RF energy absorbed by the head or body that helps determine safe RF exposure levels. See Element, “RF Exposure: Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Testing,” at: https://bit.ly/2XgHuoB.

Tesla said “sometimes I feel that I have not the right to do these things.”
According to the definition (Wikipedia):
Electromagnetic weapons are a type of directed energy weapons which use electromagnetic radiation to deliver heat, mechanical, or electrical energy to a target to cause pain or permanent damage. They can be used against humans, electronic equipment, and military targets generally, depending on the technology.
HERF can be used against humans…
Generally considered 'non-lethal weapons', electromagnetic weaponry do however pose health threats to humans.
Some common bio-effects of electromagnetic or other non-lethal weapons include effects to the human central nervous system resulting in physical pain, difficulty breathing, vertigo, nausea, disorientation, or other systemic discomfort, as weapons not directly considered lethal can indeed cause cumulative damage to the human body.
One historical example of using HERF against humans is known as “Project Pandora”…
In 1953 USSR started directing high frequency radio-waves towards the US embassy in Moscow. Several embassy employees reported blood diseases evolved into lymphoma that eventually killed them. Those blood diseases were believed to result from high frequency radiation.
One example of HPRF weaponry being used currently is MEDUSA.
MEDUSA (Mob Excess Deterrent Using Silent Audio) is a directional, non-lethal weapon designed for crowd control. It uses microwave pulses to generate uncomfortably high noise levels in human skulls, bypassing the ears and ear drums.
MEDUSA is developed by the Sierra Nevada Corporation…
US NAVY have reported their tests of MEDUSA prototype in 2004 listing its potential applications “as a perimeter protection sensor in deterrence systems for industrial and national sites, for use in systems to assist communication with hearing impaired persons, use by law enforcement and military personnel for crowd control and asset protection. The system will be portable, require low power, have a controllable radius of coverage, be able to switch from crowd to individual coverage, cause a temporarily incapacitating effect, have a low probability of fatality or permanent injury, cause no damage to property, and have a low probability of affecting friendly personnel.”
In July 2008, the Sierra Nevada Corporation claimed that it was ready to begin production of MEDUSA…
MEDUSA creates the audio effect with short microwave pulses. These pulses create a shockwave inside the skull that is detected by the ears…, which may make the target think he is insane…

For decades, the Pentagon has been saying that laser weapons are just around the corner. Thursday, the U.S. military finally turned that corner.
The Navy announced that it had deployed and fired a laser weapon this fall aboard a warship in the Persian Gulf. During a series of test shots, the laser hit and destroyed targets mounted atop a small boat, blasted a six-foot drone from the sky, and destroyed other moving targets.
The Navy’s laser weapon system—LaWS, in sea-service jargon—was fired from the USS Ponce, a one-time amphibious ship that was converted to an “afloat forward staging base” in 2012 and assigned to the 5th Fleet in Bahrain. Firing a laser from the surface of the Persian Gulf is challenging because heat, humidity, dust and salt water can reduce its power.
The Navy spent about $40 million over the past seven years developing LaWS, which actually consists of six commercial welding lasers lashed together and aimed at the same point. It has proven effective at ranges of up to about a mile.
A chief petty officer, sitting inside the ship’s combat information center, directs the solid-state laser with an Xbox-like controller. It generates about 30 kilowatts of destructive power, roughly equal to 40 horsepower. Three times as much power is lost as heat rather than light.
“Light from a laser beam can reach a target almost instantly,” a July congressional report said. “After disabling one target, a laser can be redirected in several seconds to another target.
Fast engagement times can be particularly important in situations, such as near-shore operations, where missiles, rockets, artillery shells, and mortars could be fired at Navy ships from relatively close distances.”

Bionanotechnology in Defense Sector
Nanotechnology has a variety of applications in all the area of battle and defense sector. The general battlefield requirements are war-combat suits, artillery, transportation, logistics, and hazard detection and prevention, which can be fulfilled by the assembly of biology and nanotechnology.
Mixing of nanomaterial like nano-aluminum with metal oxides result in the formation of super thermites which is use to make more powerful weapons.
High energetic explosives devices are made up of aluminum nanopowders. Nanomaterials application causes serious reduction of charge/load mass and propellant without loss of weapon system efficiency (Sindhu et al. 2007).
