High Energy Laser Initiative
Abstract
This program element is part of an overall Department strategy in Directed Energy (DE) weapon system advanced technology development. This effort will focus on scaling the output power of DE systems to reach operationally effective power levels applicable to broad mission areas across the DoD. Additionally, efforts will also pursue improvements in common DE system components such as beam control & propagation, lethality & vulnerability, and efficient power and thermal management approaches. This program element complements, and will be closely coordinated with other DoD DE efforts directed at specific Service and Agency missions. This program leverages and/or builds upon other investments in DE by the Services and Agencies.
