High Energy Laser Initiative

Abstract

This program is part of an overall Department strategy in directed energy advanced technology development. Efforts within this program will focus on scaling the output power of directed energy weapon systems to reach operationally effective power levels applicable to broad mission areas across the Department of Defense. Additionally, efforts will pursue improvements in common directed energy system components to enable scalable beam control architectures and increase lethality and vulnerability. This program complements, and will be closely coordinated with, other Department efforts directed at specific Service and Agency missions. This program leverages and/or builds upon other investments in directed energy by the Services and Agencies.
