Abstract: This thesis evaluates the logic of deploying directed energy weapons in outer space for use in anti-satellite and in anti-ballistic missile operations. The purpose of this evaluation is to determine if it is in the best interests of the United States to deploy directed energy weapons or to seek a treaty which would ban the development of such weapons.
