Advanced Weapons Technology
Abstract
This program provides for the development, integration, demonstration, and detailed assessment of directed energy weapon technologies including high energy laser, high power microwave (HPM), and other unconventional weapon generation and transmission technologies which can support a wide range of Air Force applications. The program develops a corresponding susceptibility, vulnerability, and lethality data base for directed energy weapons. This program also develops and demonstrates technologies, derived from laser beam control, that support optical ground-based space situational awareness. Efforts in this program have been coordinated through the Reliance 21 process to harmonize efforts and eliminate duplication. This program is in Budget Activity 3, Advanced Technology Development, since it develops and demonstrates technologies for existing system upgrades and/or new system developments that have military utility and address warfighter needs.
