SE4117 Directed Energy Systems
This course addresses systems engineering and design of laser, microwave, and particle beam directed energy weapons. Microwave and particle beam systems and technologies will be discussed, but laser weapons will receive the most emphasis. System architecture, system requirements, key component technologies, technical aspects of device implementation, platform integration, principles of operation and utilization, energy delivery constraints, target kill mechanisms, and systems analysis issues are discussed.
