Lasers & Imaging Technology
Abstract
This project explores the technical feasibility of moderate to high power lasers, including beam control, for applications such as aircraft protection, force protection, and precision engagement from the Department of the Air Force platforms. This project investigates the effects of laser weapons on a wide range of systems and components as well as producing, modifying, validating and applying Directed Energy and non-Directed Energy concept development and assessment tools to determine which technology solutions to pursue. Additionally, this project conducts research supporting ground-based optical space situational awareness. In FY 2022, A portion of PE 0602605F, the optical space domain awareness and satellite vulnerability efforts of PE 0602605F, Directed Energy Technology, Project 624866, Lasers & Imaging Technology, was transferred to Appropriation 3620, Research, Development, Test & Evaluation, Space Force, PE 1206601SF, Space Technology, Project 624866, Lasers & Imaging Technology from Appropriation 3600, Budget Activity 2 due to the creation of a new Appropriation for Space Force. In addition the funds associated with High Energy Laser Technologies and Directed Energy Assessments were moved to PE 0602605F, Project 625173.
