PSP High Energy Laser (HEL)

Abstract

The HEL effort leverages a rapid prototyping approach to demonstrate integration of a laser weapon system onto an AC-130J aircraft. Utilizing a best of breed approach, it integrates laser, beam control, power and thermal subsystems via a government lead system integrator. This provides additional flexibility for rapid prototyping and future modifications.
