Opportunity: Control System Theory / Beam Control

Opportunity Number:

USASMDCTC-001

Opportunity Number:

Huntsville, AL

Opportunity Description:

Develop and test control systems for implementing algorithms that provide laser beam adjustments on far field targets enabling beam coherence at varying ranges. The goal of this project is to program the sensors and control mechanisms providing beam coherence to operate under a feedback loop, removing the need for human in the loop interactions.

Opportunity Skill Set:

Physics

Opportunity Host Facility

U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command Technical Center (USASMDC TC)

Redstone Arsenal, AL; Huntsville, AL

The U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command Technical Center supports the joint warfighter by providing science, technology, and test and evaluation expertise to enable warfighter dominance today and in the future. As part of the Army Science and Technology enterprise, the Technical Center contributes to the current fight and enables the next generation to prevail in conflicts to come. The Technical Center focuses on three essential tasks: executing science and technology, research and development, and test and evaluation; managing and operating the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site; and conducting space operations and space domain awareness. The Technical Center contributes to the success of the warfighter and joint force in four major areas: directed energy, tactical responsive space and high altitude, test and evaluation, and hypersonic and strategic weapons.
