Advanced Weapons & Survivability Technology
Abstract
This project explores the use of high power microwave and other unconventional/innovative weapon concepts to support applications such as nonlethal counter-personnel and electronic warfare including disruption, degradation, and damage of electronic infrastructure on Air Force platforms. This research includes weapon technology that can provide covert effects and/or no collateral or human damage. The project also investigates the effects of potential adversary high power microwave weapons and how to mitigate those effects on US assets, as well as producing and applying directed energy weapon and non-directed energy weapon concept development and assessment tools to determine which technology solutions to pursue. This project includes but is not limited to high power microwaves, plasmas, particle beams and millimeter waves.
