2009QRF0020_Thin Disk Ultra Short Pulsed USP) Laser Technology Demonstrator

Abstract

USP Lasers have been demonstrated to have unique effects against military targets of interest. Field testing using a U.S. Navy Transportable Demonstrator System provided by Applied Energetics (AE) has confirmed the effectiveness of USP lasers against specific targets of interest. This effort will produce a demonstration laser system specifically designed to further explore these effects, determine requirements for deployment on U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps aircraft, and be of an architecture that is traceable to producing a “pod mounted” system for installation on a test aircraft.
