Target Scheduling for Directed Energy Weapon Platforms

Abstract

This final report documents the results of a three-year technology development program sponsored by the Rome Laboratory (RL) as part of the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) and executed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). The major objectives of this program were to develop, test, and deliver algorithms for managing Directed Energy Weapons (DEW) platforms during defensive engagements with a number of offensive weapons, which we shall call the targets. The main focus of this program has been on space-based High-Energy Lasers (HEL) and Neutral Particle Beam (NPB) platforms operating in earth-orbit during the boost and midcourse phases.
