The Geography Speaker Series Presents:

Prof. Steve Fiorino, Air Force Institute of Technology (Dayton, OH)

Talk Title: Researching How Atmospheric Conditions Affect Directed Energy Weapons Effectiveness

Abstract:  Presentation describes current research into quantification and prediction of atmospheric effects on directed energy (DE) systems. Phenomena explored include optical turbulence, molecular, aerosol, and hydrometeor absorption / scattering effects, and how such understanding enhances DE effectiveness across all weather conditions. Research includes field testing, modeling, and simulations to understand how directed energy systems will perform when battlefield employed.
