The main objective of the course is to provide knowledge to students about Directed Energy Weapon subsystems, systems. They will also gain knowledge about system design & analysis, thermal management & power management of DEW and the operational requirements. The course will also provide an insight about the DEW systems developed internationally.
- Understand of DEW systems, design requirements
- Evaluate the thermal and power requirements
- Evaluate the system performance.
- Attributes of DEW, System requirements, DEW system design, system analysis
- DEW subsystems, System modeling & simulation
- Thermal management of DEW, Power management of DEW
- Operational requirements of directed energy systems, platform integration
- Weapon effectiveness under different operating conditions
- Overview of internationally developed systems (Airborne Laser Laboratory, Airborne Laser, Tactical High Energy Laser, Advanced Tactical Laser, and Space-Based Laser programs)
