High Power Microwave Development and Integration
Abstract
This project develops and demonstrates high power microwave and other unconventional electromagnetic field generation and transmission technologies that can be integrated into future weapon systems to support a wide range of the Department of the Air Force missions such as air base defense or the damage/destruction of an adversary's electronic infrastructure. It also provides inputs to the susceptibility, vulnerability, and lethality databases used across the Department of Defense to understand thresholds for scalable effects of directed energy weapons. This project includes the initiation and development of programs addressing DAF capability gaps and provides technologies for transformational future force capabilities. Transformational efforts will be identified through a competitive process and be responsive to DAF design priorities. Selected efforts will be designated as transformational, indicating enterprise-level priority.
