ILIR - SMDC
Abstract
Work in this Project supports basic research at the United States Army Space and Missile Defense Command - Technical Center (USASMDC-TC) through the In-House Laboratory Independent Research (ILIR) program. Basic research lays the foundation for future developmental efforts by identifying fundamental principles governing various phenomena and appropriate pathways to exploit this knowledge. The ILIR program serves as a catalyst for major technology breakthroughs by providing laboratory directors flexibility in implementing novel research ideas and by nurturing promising young scientists and engineers and is used to attract and retain top doctoral level scientists and engineers. The ILIR program also provides a source of competitive funds for peer reviewed efforts at Army laboratories to stimulate high quality, innovative research with significant opportunity for payoff to Army warfighting capability. Work in the Project provides a foundation for applied research initiatives at the Army laboratories and research, development, and engineering centers. The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Research in this Project complements other Army Directed Energy efforts conducted under (PE) 0602150A (Air and Missile Defense Technology)/Project DC1 (Next Generation Directed Energy Concept Development and Analysis). Research is performed by the United States Army Space and Missile Defense Command - Technical Center (USASMDC-TC) in coordination with Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO).
