High Energy Laser Research Initiatves

Abstract

This program funds basic research aimed at developing fundamental scientific knowledge to support future Department of Defense (DoD) high energy laser (HEL) systems. The HEL Joint Technology Office (JTO) sends these funds to multi-disciplinary research institutes for projects on laser and beam control technologies. In addition, funding supports educational grants to stimulate interest in HELs. These educational grants are used for educational tools, scholarships, and summer intern employees in military laboratories. Efforts in this program have been coordinated through the Reliance 21 process to harmonize efforts and eliminate duplication. This program is in Budget Activity 1, Basic Research, because it funds scientific study and experimentation.
