Directed energy armament
A beam weapon is a weapon that projects concentrated energy in a directed beam rather than firing physical projectiles.
The category includes lasers, particle beams, and microwave devices.
Beam weapons appear frequently in science fiction but also exist in military research and development: The satellite was equipped with a beam weapon capable of disabling electronics.
