High Energy Laser Counter ASCM Project (HELCAP)

Abstract

HELCAP activities under this project (0603925N) include system level testing and verification of the Laser Weapon Testbed (LWT) in a simulated (land based) and maritime environment. Transition of technologies developed under (0603801N) will be integrated into the LWT system. The Beam Control Testbed subsystem will be combined with a HEL source, power/thermal, and weapon control to demonstrate the LWT system level maturity. This leveraged knowledge and new HELCAP technical solutions to the C-ASCM problem will enable a fully informed decision to rapidly field an integrated, fleet ready, HEL Weapon.
