reportActive / Technical Report | Accesssion Number: AD1220172 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The Pulsed Tactical Effector for Regulated Attack (PTERA) Grant program aims to push the state-of-the-art in reconfigurable antennas, compact sources, edge-based signals analysis hardware/software, and UAS combat survivability that collectively enable leapfrog technology for aerial directed energy systems. This report compiles presentations from the PTERA Grant Annual Technical Review, which was held at the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) on October 10 2023, and covers technical program updates for the PTERA-G subprograms for the year 1 period of performance (07/01/2022 - 08/31/2023) as well as plans for the year 2 period of performance.
