👉 An engineering weapon, often referred to as a directed energy weapon or a high-energy laser (HEL), is a sophisticated piece of military technology designed to deliver intense energy beams that can incapacitate or destroy enemy equipment and structures. Unlike traditional kinetic weapons, which rely on physical projectiles like shells or missiles, engineering weapons use concentrated energy sources such as lasers, microwaves, or high-powered microwaves to target and disrupt electronic systems, communication networks, and even physical structures. These weapons can penetrate armor, disable electronics, and cause widespread damage to infrastructure with minimal collateral harm, making them a versatile and increasingly important component of modern defense strategies.
