Description: Development of Directed Energy Weapon System Technology to counter terrorist attacks that employ asymmetric methods such as vehicle bombs, small boat attacks, suicide bombers, etc. This includes the development and delivery of a mobile demonstration prototype for directed energy weapons to be used for potential anti-terrorist, U. S. Navy, and Homeland Defense applications. Laser Induced Plasma Channels (LIPC) within the atmosphere provide the ability to guide energy. The LIPC guided direct discharge of electrical energy provides a revolutionary weapon capability that can be employed to, among other applications, disable electronics and vehicles, and disrupt or destroy critical communications infrastructure. The LIPC enhanced directionality of energy will allow an improved efficiency of the transmission of the directed energy to a target, thereby offering reduced source size and power and/or an extended effectiveness range.
