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. This program funds multi-disciplinary research institutes to conduct research on laser and beam control technologies. In addition, this program 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 DoD Science and Technology (S&T) Executive Committee process to harmonize efforts and eliminate duplication. This program is in Budget Activity 1, Basic Research because this budget activity includes scientific study and experimentation directed toward increasing fundamental knowledge and understanding in those fields of the physical, engineering, environmental, and life sciences related to long-term national security needs.
