Research abstract
Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) proposes the development of methods to protect the Flight Termination Systems (FTS) of missile targets which are to be flown and irradiated by future directed energy weapons systems during their test and evaluation. The missiles will be exposed to high power laser and microwave radiation sufficient to destroy them but for range safety the FTS units must remain functional in spite of exposure to damaging energy levels. FTS designs will be analyzed and methods to harden them developed for both high power lasers and microwaves.
