American Physical Society. Annual Meeting (1987 : Washington, D.C)
American Physical Society Directed Energy Weapons (DEW) press conference [videorecording], 1987 April 23.
Videorecording of the Directed Energy Weapon (DEW) press conference held at the annual spring meeting held in Washington, DC on April 23 1987. The purpose of the press conference was to publicize the findings of the DEW Study Group. The study group created a report containing the basic technical information about DEW, including the physical basis of high intensity lasers and particle beams, beam control and propagation, and other issues. The study found significant gaps in the scientific and engineering understanding of DEW technologies, generating controversy among scientists and politicans.
