Directed energy weapons (DEWs) propagate this energy to engage a target remotely at the speed of light, including High Energy Lasers (HEL) or High Powered Microwaves (HPM), producing precise, scalable effects against multiple targets at a very low cost per shot. DEWs offer non-lethal warning, escalation of force, ISR and counter-ISR, counter-electronics, counter-munitions, and counter-IED capabilities at a fraction of the cost per engagement compared to traditional, kinetic options. As a complement to existing weapons, DEWs offer the U.S. Military a cost- effective capability enhancement to address evolving threats. One of the key benefits of DE technologies are scalable effects, i.e., target impacts that range from temporary disruption to permanent damage. With HELs, effects can range from “dazzling,” or blocking visibility only when illuminated, to ablation and damage, usually causing the target to catch fire. With HPM, effects can range from interruption (e.g., shutting off an engine that can later be restarted) to permanent damage to electronics within the target. 20172019 Directed Directed Energy Energy Educational Educational Outreach Outreach iii iii The Directed Energy Professional Society (DEPS) fosters the research, development and transition of directed energy (DE) technologies, including high energy laser (HEL) and high- The Directed Energy Professional Society (DEPS) fosters the research, development and transition power microwave (HPM) technologies, for national defense and civil applications through of directed energy (DE) technologies, including high energy laser (HEL) and high-power microwave professional communication and education.

  • ASNE “A Vision of Directed Energy Weapons in the Future”
    A Vision for Directed Energy and Electric Weapons In the Current and Future Navy Captain David H. Kiel, USN Commander Michael Ziv, USN Commander Frederick Marcell USN (Ret) Introduction In this paper, we present an overview of potential Surface Navy Directed Energy and Electric Weapon (DE&EW) technologies being specifically developed to take advantage of the US Navy’s “All Electric Warship”. An all electric warship armed with such weapons will have a new toolset and sufficient flexibility to meet combat scenarios ranging from defeating near-peer competitors, to countering new disruptive technologies and countering asymmetric threats. This flexibility derives from the inherently deep magazines and simple, short logistics tails, scalable effects, minimal amounts of explosives carried aboard and low life cycle and per-shot costs. All DE&EW weaponry discussed herein could become integral to naval systems in the period between 2010 and 2025. Adversaries Identified in the National Military Strategy The 2004 National Military Strategy identifies an array of potential adversaries capable of threatening the United States using methods beyond traditional military capabilities. While naval forces must retain their current advantage in traditional capabilities, the future national security environment is postulated to contain new challenges characterized as disruptive, irregular and catastrophic. To meet these challenges a broad array of new military capabilities will require continuous improvement to maintain US dominance. The disruptive challenge implies the development by an adversary of a breakthrough technology that supplants a US advantage. An irregular challenge includes a variety of unconventional methods such as terrorism and insurgency that challenge dominant US conventional power.

  • Navy Shipboard Lasers for Surface, Air, and Missile Defense: Background and Issues for Congress
    Navy Shipboard Lasers for Surface, Air, and Missile Defense: Background and Issues for Congress Ronald O'Rourke Specialist in Naval Affairs July 31, 2014 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R41526 Navy Shipboard Lasers for Surface, Air, and Missile Defense Summary Department of Defense (DOD) development work on high-energy military lasers, which has been underway for decades, has reached the point where lasers capable of countering certain surface and air targets at ranges of about a mile could be made ready for installation on Navy surface ships over the next few years. More powerful shipboard lasers, which could become ready for installation in subsequent years, could provide Navy surface ships with an ability to counter a wider range of surface and air targets at ranges of up to about 10 miles. The Navy and DOD have conducted development work on three principal types of lasers for potential use on Navy surface ships—fiber solid state lasers (SSLs), slab SSLs, and free electron lasers (FELs). One fiber SSL prototype demonstrator developed by the Navy is the Laser Weapon System (LaWS). The Navy plans to install a LaWS system on the USS Ponce, a ship operating in the Persian Gulf as an interim Afloat Forward Staging Base (AFSB[I]), in the summer of 2014 to conduct continued evaluation of shipboard lasers in an operational setting. The Navy reportedly anticipates moving to a shipboard laser program of record in “the FY2018 time frame” and achieving an initial operational capability (IOC) with a shipboard laser in FY2020 or FY2021. Although the Navy is developing laser technologies and prototypes of potential shipboard lasers, and has a generalized vision for shipboard lasers, the Navy currently does not yet have a program of record for procuring a production version of a shipboard laser.

These two crucial sectors required a technology that is compatible with the nature of the field; safe, precise and fast (time –saving). A laser is defined as a device that emits a focused beam of light by stimulating the emission of electromagnetic radiation. The characteristics of lasers; coherence, directionality, monochromatic and high intensity are very suitable to be used in the critical sectors. In the military sector, the implementation of laser is commonly used in various types of weapons manufacturing. In this paper, three different military weapon systems namely weapon simulator, laser anti-missile system and navy ship laser weapon system were studied.

Imagine a timeShare when a trip to the doctor's office to evaluate your ailment doesn't involve a painful blood draw or the hassle of a urine sample, but only entails a simple request to blow into a tube. Or perhaps a trip to the doctor isn't required at all: What if an evaluation could be conducted remotely by blowing into an accessory on your cell phone? This scenario is becoming a reality as the burgeoning field of breath analysis provides new and, perhaps most important, noninvasive methods to detect abnormal function within the body. Many of the leading techniques involve optical and laser-based approaches that are providing new capabilities to bring breath analysis into a clinical setting. The notion of detecting disease states in exhaled breath has existed for almost 2500 years. Hippocrates described specific correlations between breath aroma and disease in one of his many medical treatises; in 1784, Lavoisier and Laplace showed that respiration consumes oxygen and eliminates carbon dioxide; in 1897, Nebelthau showed that diabetics exhale acetone in their breath; and in 1971, Pauling used gas chromatography (GC) to detect over 250 compounds in exhaled human breath.

    Two-Dimensional Electronic Spectroscopy of the Photosystem II D1D2-cyt.b559 Reaction Center Complex by Jeffrey Allen Myers A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Physics) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Assistant Professor Jennifer P. Ogilvie, Chair Professor Paul R. Berman Professor Timothy A. McKay Professor Roseanne J. Sension Assistant Professor Kevin J. Kubarych ⃝c Jeffrey Allen Myers 2010 All Rights Reserved To my parents, Dan and Tina Myers ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My time at the University of Michigan has been spent learning a great deal about myself and the people around me, as well as the intricacies of physics. As an un- dergraduate, I never guessed what it really means to get a Ph.D. It has indeed been an adventure of great scope, a keen expansion of my knowledge and problem-solving capabilities, and a refinement of my identity as a scientist. But to stop there without acknowledging the many, many people who have helped me over the years would be a great injustice. First, I would like to thank everyone in Professor Ogilvie's group, all of whom brought some sunshine into a lab which, despite being on the corner of the fourth floor, has no windows. Dr. Sarah Nichols has my eternal gratitude for lending me her LATEXbook and example code to get me started up the typesetting learning curve, without which I would have been hopelessly lost in formatting. Kristin Lewis has been by my side in the lab from day one as my lab partner and academic counterpart.
