High Energy Laser Technologies and Directed Energy Assessments
Abstract
Develop and demonstrate high energy laser device technologies for Air Force applications. Develop and demonstrate optical laser beam control technologies including atmospheric propagation and pointing and tracking. Perform laser system level modeling and simulation validated by laser effects and vulnerability testing. Develop tools and perform assessments which allow comparisons among directed energy weapon concepts and tradeoffs between directed energy weapon and non-directed energy weapon solutions. Integrate optical beam control technologies with laser device technologies and demonstrate the combined technologies. Develop and use technologies to better understand the vulnerability of weapon systems to high energy lasers.
