Lethality Enabling University Applied Research
Abstract
The Project leverages research and technological innovations from academia, of lethal directed energy, laser diagnostics and accelerated design of future hypersonics and their scramjet engine combustion, deep learning (DL) guidance tools and novel materials of importance to the Army, by accelerating research and conducting experiments focused on getting technology to the warfighter more quickly. This Project performs discovery research efforts to focus more on mid to far-term Army modernization priorities while also maintaining delivery of near-term technologies critical to the Long Range Precision Fires and Air and Missile Defense. This Project focuses on employment of research technologies originating from extramural applied research in academia pertaining to lethal directed energy, laser diagnostics, future hypersonic glide body and scramjet propulsor design, DL guidance tools, novel materials, and expansion of the Ballistic, Aero-Optics and Materials (B.A.M.) range applied to lethality. This effort conducts applied research and development leading to potential emerging technologies in areas of strategic importance to the Army in directed energy, future hypersonic glide body design, DL and novel materials, etc., by bringing competitively selected Universities with research and development teams into Technical Alliances. Work in this Project complements Program Element 0602147A (Long Range Precision Fires) and Program Element 0602150A (Air and Missile Defense Technologies) The work cited is consistent with Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the United States Army Futures Command.
