Lasers and Imaging Development and Integration
Abstract
This project provides for the development, integration, demonstration, and detailed assessment of optical imaging, laser, and beam control technologies needed for applications such as aircraft self-protection, force protection, force application, precision engagement, and space situational awareness. Critical technologies developed and demonstrated include: (1) compact, reliable, and affordable laser devices with good beam quality and scalability to high power; (2) advanced optics, imaging, and laser beam control components to compensate and propagate laser radiation through the atmosphere and/or to optically detect and characterize space objects. Perform laser system concept assessments to include vulnerability assessments and target effect testing.
