US Department of War Confirms Development of Directed Energy Weapons Amid Allegations of Covert Use
The US Department of War announced plans to expand Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs) following a raid in January where American forces allegedly used a sonic weapon against guards at a site linked to former Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro. A CIA whistleblower reported health issues related to energy weapons, prompting scrutiny of the agency's response to such incidents, while a House subcommittee suggested increasing foreign involvement in these health anomalies. The National Intelligence Council has deemed it unlikely that foreign adversaries are responsible, yet concerns persist regarding the CIA's handling of the situation.

The US Department of War confirmed plans to expand the use of Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs) on January 23, 2026. This announcement follows a raid in early January where American forces reportedly utilized a sonic weapon against guards at the complex of former Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro.
The Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering stated that DEWs are being scaled up. Additionally, a whistleblower from the CIA claimed she experienced an 'anomalous health incident' related to energy weapons.
The National Intelligence Council in 2023 deemed it unlikely that foreign adversaries were responsible for such incidents, but a House subcommittee report indicated an increasing likelihood of foreign involvement. The CIA has faced criticism for its handling of these reports, with a bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee recommending improvements in care for affected personnel.
