Directed Energy Bioeffects Parameters
Abstract
This project develops, demonstrates, and transitions technologies to predict, evaluate, and mitigate the effects of directed energy on personnel and mission performance, and exploits the offensive capabilities of directed energy systems. This project also develops the human-components of the guidelines for testing, deployment, and protection from high power microwave and high energy laser systems and uses this information to enhance the effectiveness of these weapon systems in air, space, and cyber operations. The optical radiation bioeffects research develops and demonstrates technologies that counter optical threats, while exploiting optical systems for non-lethal applications. Radio frequency (RF) radiation bioeffects research develops, demonstrates, and transitions technologies to the warfighters. Biobehavioral systems efforts focus on the design and characterization of scalable non-lethal directed energy and novel effects weapons, including quantification of physiological and psychological effectiveness and risks associated with these weapons.
