Submissions have now closed.

The Directed Energy call is seeking proposals for leap-ahead proposals for High Energy Laser (HEL) and High Power Radio Frequency / High Power Microwave (HPRF/HPM) technologies.

What are the research problems?

Directed Energy (DE) Defence Systems are potentially disruptive solutions for a range of challenging Defence applications. With the rapid maturation of DE systems, based on High Energy Laser (HEL) and High Power Radio Frequency / High Power Microwave (HPRF/HPM) technologies, DE solutions are becoming a significant subset of the layered defence capability which includes both offensive systems and countermeasures to a multitude of continually evolving threats.

S&T proposals are sought in the field of DE technologies and systems, within the following broad focus areas: 

  • Novel DE concepts, technologies, techniques and Defence applications
  • Methods and approaches to hardware and software integration into DE systems
  • DE effects, including human effects, countermeasures and protection
