Bioeffects & Protection Technology
Abstract
This project integrates and demonstrates technologies to provide protection against directed energy threats and hazards, without compromising performance, vigilance, or mission effectiveness, and man-portable technologies for the neutralization of threats. Development and demonstration efforts focus on advanced technologies for laser eye protection (LEP), preventing injurious exposures of personnel involved with test and evaluation of high power microwave or high-energy laser weapons, and enabling operational employment of these systems. It also develops tools and guidelines for testing and deploying high power microwave and high-energy laser systems and technologies to enhance personnel safety and effectiveness in aerospace operations. Biobehavioral performance capabilities are developed and demonstrated to enable sustained and enhanced operations in extreme environments to include surge, night, global, information warfare, C2, and other operations.
