Congressional Adds

Project 9999 (PU C357) - Congressional Add - 100kW Directed Energy Production is a Congressionally directed effort to advance the manufacturing readiness of 'weapon grade' subsystems for 100kW class High Energy Lasers (HELs) including the Main Optical Bench (MOB) for beam combining and beam control. Additionally, these funds will support Navy plans to develop and refine weapon integration processes and system performance qualification and evaluation. In order to expand mass production of weapon grade Laser Fiber Amplifiers (LFAs), manufacturing processes currently utilized need refinement and improvement. This will result in higher production capabilities at a reduced cost per LFA for the United States (US) Government. Project 9999 (PU CA34) - Congressional Add - Enduring-High Energy Laser (E-HEL) supports development, integration and marinization of the E-HEL capability into multi-service Air and Missile Defense networks to demonstrate a capability to defeat Group 1-3 Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs).
