Direct Energy C/Ms

The Royal Navy has confirmed plans to trial direct-energy weapons for use on ships and helos for anti-drone and anti-missile applications. There are obvious parellels with requirements for countermeasure systems on Endeavour.

There's been debate here about whether a close-in defence "phalanx" system should be based on kinetic-energy or direct-energy (or both).

Thoughts?
