SSL-TM

Abstract

Solid State Laser Technology Maturation (SSL TM) is a multi-year effort in various stages of research and development within the Navy's Innovative Naval Prototypes (INP) Program. SSL-TM will develop a maritime laser weapons system prototype and test it on a representative test platform for a naval surface combatant, and conduct the required laser weapon system engineering, design, integration and testing necessary to have a testable, experimental prototype. This system will be capable of supporting missions such as defense against small boat and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) swarms and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) disruption and defeat. The project will conduct at-sea testing on the full laser weapon system demonstrator (i.e., prototype) from a representative test platform for a naval surface combatant.
