Work will focus on protecting personnel, electronics and other equipment against a laser’s electronic pulse effect and high temperatures, said Veeraraghavan Sundar, UES manager of emerging products.
“We want to make sure our side’s materials … survive impact from a laser and the materials they are made out of are not impacted in their ability to function,” he said.
Years-long research has lead to technology breakthroughs in use today, he said.
The latest deal continues work on the Laser Materials for Blue Systems Survivability project at Wright-Patterson through June 2023, according to the Department of Defense.
AFRL, which has a Materials & Manufacturing Directorate at Wright-Patterson, awarded the contract.
