High energy laser applications in a surface combatant terminal phase theater ballistic missile defense, low atmosphere propagation, and free electron laser gain
The Free Electron Laser (FEL) can provide the naval surface combatant with a directed energy weapon that can be used against a large target set. Due to space constraints in a shipboard installation, an exploration is conducted to show the feasibility of short Rayleigh length FELs using a FEL simu...
