Directed Energy
Abstract
The goal of this activity is to develop technologies and capabilities that enable Directed Energy (DE) weapons for naval applications as well as defense against adversary Directed Energy systems.The advanced research focus is primarily for directed energy is in Naval Ship Defense, Naval Air Defense, and Naval Precision Strike Operations. The goal of Directed Energy (DE) research is to develop technologies and capabilities enabling both line of sight and beyond line of sight non-kinetic weapon capabilities, as well as defend against adversary DE systems. This DE Weapons scope includes the associated technologies of optics and material properties, providing Navy future forces the ability to quickly target and strike critical targets, in cost effective means, while minimizing potential collateral damage, as well as the ability to defend against and counter adversarial modes of attack.
