00:00:25,870 --> 00:00:27,981
Advances in technology , increase our

00:00:27,981 --> 00:00:30,203
adversary's ability to oppose us in the 

4
00:00:30,203 --> 00:00:32,569
space domain . One such threat is the 

5
00:00:32,580 --> 00:00:34,819
directed energy weapon . Once only the

00:00:34,830 --> 00:00:36,919
purview of science fiction directed 

7
00:00:36,930 --> 00:00:38,930
energy weapons can take the form of 

8
00:00:38,930 --> 00:00:40,708
high powered microwaves , radio 

9
00:00:40,708 --> 00:00:42,708
frequency weapons and even lasers . 

10
00:00:44,759 --> 00:00:46,880
A laser weapon can be utilized on the 

11
00:00:46,889 --> 00:00:48,919
ground to disrupt sensors in orbit 

12
00:00:57,619 --> 00:01:00,729
or to damage or destroy equipment at 

13
00:01:00,740 --> 00:01:01,709
closer ranges . 

14
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,902
Space systems command is delivering the 

15
00:01:15,902 --> 00:01:18,013
capabilities . Our nation's joint war 

16
00:01:18,013 --> 00:01:19,958
fighters need to stay ahead of and 

17
00:01:19,958 --> 00:01:21,958
protect us from emerging threats in 

18
00:01:21,958 --> 00:01:21,900
space .
