Directed Energy Components for High Energy Lasers

Abstract

Project 5898 - Directed Energy Components for High Energy Lasers: Supports Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment (IBAS) program efforts for the improvement of the production capability of the industrial base in order to produce Laser Weapon Beam Director (LWBD) components and sub-systems; reduce production lead times of Laser Weapon System Optics; improve quality and reduce production times of Fast Steering Mirror (FSM) and deformable mirrors. The FY24 budget request supports the completion of the development of the production capability enhancement of the Laser Weapon Beam Director (LWBD) components and sub-systems, coating chambers for laser weapon optics, Fast Steering Mirrors (FSM) and deformable mirrors. This investment is a risk mitigation for manufacturing capability enhancements through the qualification and validation of production equipment and process improvements.
