Abstract:
The primary objective of this AFOSR-funded consortium project is to conduct a comprehensive research investigation on distributed, self0initiated plasma discharges as candidate deployable surfaces providing counter-High-Power-Microwave counter-HPM capabilities. The general research goal was to achieve new physical understanding of the behavior of distributed microwave-power-limiting discharges for counter-HPM over a broad range of frequencies and radiation intensities. A second major goal of the consortium is to train outstanding students in the HPM field. The specific experimental research plan includes investigation of the effects of field enhancement structures on windows, seed electron sources, and gas ambient including pressure and species. The specific modeling research plan includes investigation of first election effects, spatially-non-uniform microwave electric field effects, and the effects of gas ambient.
