Vulnerability Modules for Multi-Domain Operations
Abstract
This Project will design and develop High Energy Laser (HEL) Vulnerability Modules (VM), engagement tactics data and kill signatures for targeting Unmanned Aerial Systems, Cruise Missiles, and Rotary Wing threats for future HEL weapon systems. Developed smart VMs will enable real time threat feature detection and targeting, increasing the lethality of the HEL weapon systems through optimizing aimpoint selection. The Development of smart VMs will enable optimized targeting across a large range of current and future threat targets due to detection capabilities applied against threat features and not specific threats. Research in this Project complements 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 modernization 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) in coordination with RCCTO.
