ONR Short Pulse Research, Evaluation and non-SWaP Demonstration for C-sUAV Study
Abstract
ONR BAA N00014-17-S-B001 ~ Amendment 0004Title: ONR Short Pulse Research, Evaluation and non-SWaP Demonstration for C-sUAV StudySm""all unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) continue to present an increasing asymmetric threat, fromintelligence capture to payload transfe"r to kinetic airspace nuisance. Asymmetric in this contextmeans that the threat cost and complexity of implementation is far less t"han its countermeasures,including targeting, tracking, and threat-type/intent identification. This problem is considered agrand ch""allenge (maybe even a wicked problem) begging for a comprehensive study of presentandfuture-art countermeasures, to identify the mo""st optimal (including policy acceptableengagement) means of mitigating the sUAS threat with extrapolation to practical range, cost,""delivery and integratability. Solution categories include kinetic and non-kinetic tools; of the nonkinetictools, the main classes" are high energy laser (HEL) and high power radiofrequency (HPRF)weapons. The focus of this effort is to advance HPRF technologies.
