High Power and Energy Component Technology
Abstract
This project conducts research and evaluate high-power electronic components and technologies. These technologies have application in compact, light-weight power and energy storage, power and energy conversion, conditioning, radio frequency (RF)/microwave and solid-state laser directed energy weapons (DEW), and traditional and non-traditional RF and laser electronic attack. The ongoing directed energy effects and power component work is coordinated with and, as appropriate, leveraged by DEW and power/energy programs in the Air Force, Navy, High Energy Laser Joint Technology Office, Defense Threat Reduction Agency, national labs, university consortia, and relevant industry and foreign partners. The work in this project is coordinated with the Tank and Automotive Research, Development, and Engineering Center (TARDEC); the Armaments Research, Development, and Engineering Center (ARDEC); the Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center (AMRDEC); and the Communications and Electronics Research, Development, and Engineering Center (CERDEC). These efforts were previously funded in PE 0602120A (Sensors and Electronic Survivability). The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. Work on this project is performed by the Army Research Laboratory (ARL), Adelphi, MD.
