Lasers for Navy applicat

Abstract

The Pacific Sail effort utilizes Lasers for Navy Applications to develop a gyro-stabilized, multi-mission, optical system as a "Proof of Concept" capability for at-sea evaluation in support of tactical ship defense requirements. Funding was established in FY 2010 under this project unit to support prototype laser system development and system concept demonstration onboard a surface platform. This at-sea test and analysis will demonstrate operational effectiveness in support of Information Operations (IO), short-range ship defense/force protection, tracking and imaging, combat identification, and threat assessment.
