Joint Directed Energy Basic Research
Abstract
This program funds basic research aimed at developing fundamental scientific knowledge to support future Department of Defense Directed Energy weapon systems through the Joint Directed Energy Transition Office. This program funds multi-disciplinary research institutes to conduct research on laser, laser beam control and high power microwave technologies. In addition, this program supports research efforts through academia to stimulate student interest in directed energy and encourage graduate research in topics related to high energy lasers and high power microwaves. Efforts in this program have been coordinated through the Department of Defense Science and Technology Executive Committee process to harmonize efforts and eliminate duplication. This budget activity includes scientific study and experimentation directed toward increasing fundamental knowledge and understanding in those fields of the physical, engineering, environmental, and life sciences related to long-term national security needs.
