Directed Energy Demonstrator Development

Abstract

The DEDD project develops, integrates, and tests the component technologies required to demonstrate the complete acquisition, tracking and lethality engagement sequence of a high energy laser system for missile defense. Laser scaling focuses on maturing strategic laser capability to levels sufficient to enter into the ASD R&E Laser Scaling Road map efforts. The DEDD project provides the necessary technology, test data, and operations familiarity to successfully transition to a higher power directed energy weapon.
