High Energy Laser Technologies and Directed Energy Assessments

Abstract

Develop and demonstrate high energy laser device technologies for Air Force applications. Develop and demonstrate optical laser beam control technologies including atmospheric compensation 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 DE concepts and tradeoffs between DE and non-DE solutions. Integrate optical beam control technologies with laser device technologies and demonstrate the combined technologies. Develop and use technologies to better understand the vulnerability of weapon systems to lasers.
