Optimized High Energy Laser Source Adv Tech

Abstract

This Project matures and demonstrates Optimized High Energy Laser Source advanced technology establishing a more affordable laser source for application in High Energy Laser weapon systems. This Project will deliver a lower cost laser weapon source and leverages prior laser source development work to ruggedize and integrate for transition into the Maneuver-Short Range Air Defense Program of Record. Research in this Project compliments other Army Directed Energy efforts conducted under Program Element (PE) 0602150A (Air and Missile Defense Technology) and PE 0603466A (Air and Missile Defense Advanced Technology). The cited research is consistent with the Army's 31+4 programs, the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas, the Army Modernization Strategy, and supports the Army's future capability opportunities for leap-ahead technology for Directed Energy. Research is performed by the United States Army Space and Missile Defense Command - Technical Center (USASMDC-TC).
