Video Highlights

Senator Martin Heinrich of New Mexico started his career working on directed energy technology.  He has served many years on the House and Senate Armed Services Committees to bring this technology to the forefront. 

Directed energy is game-changing for the military, providing tactical and strategic advantages. For example, high-powered microwaves and high-energy lasers can be solutions to the counter-unmanned aerial systems threat, which is an urgent operational need.

Looking to the future, directed energy technology can keep the U.S. military strong and on the cutting edge.
