Directed Energy and Electric Weapon System
Abstract
This program element will transition Directed Energy and Electric Weapon Systems (DE&EWS) technology from Science and Technology (S&T) research through Technology Development into System Development and Demonstration, leading to acquisition initiation for the Surface/Subsurface Navy. DE&EWS consist of multiple breakthrough technologies including: laser weapons that provide for speed-of-light engagements at tactically significant ranges resulting in savings realized by minimizing the use of defensive missiles and projectiles; electromagnetic launch of projectiles that will significantly increase firing ranges imposing greater cost to adversaries of ballistic and air defense missile engagements; enhance the land attack mission; and fielding of high power radio frequency systems for non-kinetic electronic attack and active denial technology, allowing for non-lethal determination of threat intent beyond small arms fire ranges. Development of DE&EWS includes: Weapons Grade High Energy Lasers, Electromagnetic Railgun (EMRG) Weapon Systems, High Power Radio Frequency Weapon/Sensor Systems, and other systems/capabilities.

- Change Summary Explanation
- The FY 2017 request was reduced by -$1.6 million as required for the Department of the Navy to comply with the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015. The FY 2017 request was reduced by -$27 million due to the cancellation of the railgun demonstration aboard the Joint High Speed Vessel (JHSV) in FY19. Funding for Hypervelocity Projectile (HVP) ($5.4 million) was realigned to PE 0603795N Land Attack Technology.
