USCG seeking to develop non-kinetic Directed Energy Weapons for use against non-compliant vessels

Saw this published in the federal register this week.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is announcing its intent to enter into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with Lockheed Martin Corporation to develop a small size, low weight, high-power microwave (HPM) effector for stopping non-compliant vessels (NCV), to include personal watercraft (PWC), and small uncrewed surface vessels (USV). The Coast Guard is seeking public comment on this proposed partnership and potential involvement from other parties.  https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-09975.pdf
