Laser weapons generate intense beams of light that can focus on a target a considerable distance away.  4, fiche 1, Anglais, - laser%20weapon

A variety of antisatellite weapons could destroy, blind or jam enemy satellites. ... Lasers might work best, because by blinding rather than destroying satellites, they would not fill lower Earth orbits with debris that other spacecraft might run into.  5, fiche 1, Anglais, - laser%20weapon

Essential elements of a laser weapon are the high-energy laser-producing system and the beam control system which aims the laser beam at the target and focuses the laser on it.  6, fiche 1, Anglais, - laser%20weapon

En raison de leur orbite prévisible, les satellites seraient particulièrement exposés aux attaques par laser qui permettraient d'aveugler les capteurs, de saturer l'équipement électronique, d'entraîner des dégâts thermiques ou physiques, ou de surchauffer des composants particuliers (par exemple, la partie optique sensible de la charge utile ou les détecteurs d'attitude).  3, fiche 1, Français, - arme%20laser

There are three key components of a hypothetical particle beam weapon system. First, there is the source of the beam-the beam generator-consisting of a particle accelerator and its associated supply of electrical power, energy storage, and conditioning. Second, there is a beam control subsystem to aim the beam at the target and determine that the beam has hit. Last, the particle beam weapon must have a fire control subsystem which acquires all the targets that need to be engaged, selects the one to engage, and tells the beam control subsystem where to look to find it.  2, fiche 2, Anglais, - particle%20beam%20weapon%20system

MILES is a system the Army uses for wargames. You mount a small box, the transmitter, on the end of the barrel of your weapon, and wear a harness that has several straps on the front and back with infrared receptors on them. You also have a key that is normally in the transmitter to enable it. The transmitter has a microphone in it, and whenever a shot is fired, the sound causes it to fire a coded IR laser beam. The sensors on the harness are wired to a box on the back which detects when you have been hit. If you are, a beeper starts sounding loudly. To turn it off you have to take the key out of the transmitter, thus disabling it, and put it in a switch in the harness. Then you are "dead", and have to wait for an observer to come around with a special key that can reset the harness. They can also use the God gun, which is so called because it can fire pulses that will "kill" you like the other transmitters, but it can also fire pulses that reset your harness(bring you back to life...)  1, fiche 3, Anglais, - God%20gun
