Abstract
A directed-energy irradiating apparatus includes an FEL apparatus and an HPM apparatus. The FEL apparatus accelerates free electrons by using a microwave supplied from a microwave source to irradiate an FEL beam and outputs a remaining microwave. The HPM apparatus irradiates an HPM beam generated based on the remaining microwave outputted from the FEL apparatus. It is possible to destroy a target even in a situation that a destruction effect by the FEL beam cannot expected, while maintaining the destruction ability of the FEL beam.
