The Laser Weapons and Combat System Integration Program is part of the Office of Naval Research's Naval Air Warcraft and Weapons Department.

The Office of Naval Research's high energy lasers and pulsed lasers research concentration area is focused on the development of next-generation laser weapon systems deployable on a variety of naval platforms, that can automatically adjust their power, beam characteristics and engagement strategies based on the specific threat environment and operational objectives.

The Office of Naval Research's Lethality and Operation Analysis research concentration area is focused on creating and validating a multi-layered modeling and simulation (M&S) framework that analyzes Directed Energy (DE) weapon lethality and operational effectiveness.

The Office of Naval Research's High Power Microwaves (HPM) research concentration area present focus areas are twofold. First is to explore technologies, including effects mechanisms, to enable engagement of targets at higher frequencies (X through K bands) and, thus, greater directivity. Second is the reduction of required power on target through the exploration of novel HPM systems that provide rapid on-demand shot-to-shot waveform parameter adjustability.

The Office of Naval Research's Counter Directed Energy Weapons (CDEW) program was initiated in response to the rapid development of high energy lasers (HEL) and high power microwaves (HPM)/high power radio frequency (HPRF) threats being developed by potential foreign adversaries.

The Directed Energy Weapons Division is part of the Office of Naval Research's Naval Air Warfare and Weapons Department (Code 35).

Code 35 Expeditionary Warfare is part of the Office of Naval Research's Naval Air Warfare and Weapons Department.
