High Energy Laser Technologies and Directed Energy Assessments

Abstract

Develop and demonstrate High Energy Laser device technologies for Air Force applications. Develop and demonstrate laser beam control technologies including atmospheric propagation and pointing and tracking. Perform laser system level modeling and simulation validated by laser effects and vulnerability testing. Develop tools and perform assessments which allow comparisons among concepts and tradeoffs between Directed Energy and non-Directed Energy solutions. Integrate optical beam control technologies with laser device technologies and demonstrate the combined technologies. Develop and use modeling, testing and diagnostic technologies to better understand the vulnerability of adversary weapon systems to High Energy Lasers.
