👉 A driven weapon, often referred to as a directed energy weapon (DEW), is a type of non-conventional weapon that uses high-powered energy sources, such as lasers or microwaves, to incapacitate or destroy targets. Unlike traditional kinetic weapons that rely on physical impact, driven weapons emit focused beams of energy that can penetrate armor and disrupt electronic systems. These weapons are typically guided by advanced sensors and targeting systems to ensure precision, making them effective against moving targets or in scenarios where conventional weapons might be too risky. The driving mechanism, which can be either electrical or magnetic, accelerates the energy source to achieve the necessary power and focus for effective engagement.
