Official Description

This project is a strategic partnership between AFRL and SSC to develop space-based directed energy systems. Directed energy systems pose many promising dual-use applications including but not limited to space-based defensive capabilities such as non-kinetic missile defense, space-based power beaming, lunar prospecting, target identification, or debris remediation. For certain applications such as remote power transfer, high energy laser systems can bridge a critical capability gap involving the...
