Research abstract
Recent successes with directed energy weapon technology have developed many innovative and practical beam control systems and components. However, the existing systems were not engineered for a ship self-defense mission. This mission places a different set of constraints on the system design based on the naval host platform and the target characteristics and behavior. In this SBIR, the Brashear LP team will use its broad experience with the major directed energy weapons programs to develop a beam control system suited to ship self-defense. Building a Beam director for ship self defense, Costal defense using directed energy weapons and directed IR countermeasures.
