Surface Navy Laser Weapon System (SNLWS)
Abstract
The Surface Navy Laser Weapon System (SNLWS) funding is requested for the expedited development and fielding of the SNLWS system to Naval Forces. SNLWS will include the development of an advanced prototype laser weapon system in the 60 kW or higher class. SNLWS leverages mature technology to deliver a proven laser weapon capability to the Fleet. SNLWS development leverages the Office of Naval Research (ONR) efforts on the Solid State Laser (SSL) Quick Reaction Capability (QRC) and Solid State Laser (SSL) Technology Maturation (TM) efforts. SNLWS provides a capability to address existing Low Power Module (LPM), Anti-Surface Warfare, Integrated Air and Missile Defense and Counter-Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C-ISR) Gaps with the ability to dazzle and destroy Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) and Fast Inshore Attack Craft (FIAC). The funding increase from FY17 to FY18 reflects the establishment of Surface Navy Laser Weapon System (SNLWS) prototype development efforts.
