High Energy Laser Technology Demonstrator (HEL TD) Beam Control System (BCS)
Abstract
This effort matures and integrates a Beam Control System (BCS) into a mobile platform (Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck) and demonstrates BCS performance using low power SSLs. After the completion of the HEL TD BCS low power demonstrations in FY12, follow-on activities using the rugged, mobile BCS will be conducted under the High Energy Laser Mobile Demonstrations (HEL MD) planned program. HEL MD is the follow-on set of activities that utilize the mobile platform with rugged BCS to continue integration and demonstration of other subsystems required for a HEL weapon, such as power, thermal management, and a rugged laser.
