Power Proj Applied Research
Abstract
In an Artificial Intelligence (AI)enabled maritime battlespace, the ability to fight at the speed of light will determine the outcome. The effective defense against threats increasingly beyond human speed, will enable U.S. naval forces to outthink, outmaneuver and outfight adversaries. This Project supports both advanced technology research and near to mid-term transition opportunities. The advanced research focus is primarily on directed energy, high speed weapon propulsion, electro-optic/infrared (EO/IR) sensor technologies, and Naval Precision Strike Operations. The goal of this research is to develop technologies and capabilities that enable Directed Energy (DE) weapons as well as defense against adversary DE systems; the development of vehicle and propulsion technology for high-speed weapons operating from Mach 3 to Mach 8 and beyond; investment in the areas of Electro Optic/Infrared devises and advanced sensors; and technologies that provide the navy of the future the ability to quickly locate, target, and strike critical targets ashore.
