The Physics of Airborne Directed Energy: Thermal Dissipation, Power Budgets, and Beam Focus

Engineering thermal management and power storage systems for high-energy military payloads mounted on electric airframes.

The Power Challenge of Airborne Directed Energy

Firing a high-power microwave pulse requires drawing tens of kilowatts of electrical power in fractions of a second, placing extreme instantaneous current loads on aircraft batteries.

Supercapacitor Energy Buffers and Phase-Change Thermal Sinks

DefendEeVTOL utilizes hybrid lithium-supercapacitor banks that deliver multi-megawatt pulse discharges without straining flight propulsion batteries, while phase-change paraffin thermal heat sinks absorb waste heat without requiring heavy liquid cooling loops.

Atmospheric Propagation and Beam Divergence in Rain and Dust

Airborne microwave beams penetrate smoke, fog, and battlefield dust clouds that blind traditional military laser weapons, delivering consistent electronic disruption in all weather conditions.
