The objective
of the Physics Program is to develop and exploit the physics knowledge base
for new Army needs and capabilities. The future promises dramatic changes
in military capability as a result of physics research. Possibilities
include enormous improvements in materials, sensors, and devices, as well
as the creation of novel functional materials through application of
quantum level design and understanding; exploitation of single atom, single
ion, and single photon processes for sensing, communication, and quantum
information processing; advances in image understanding and optics (such as
slow light and negative index meta-materials) enabling better automatic
target recognition, stealth, and simply imaging better (e.g.,
sub-wavelength); the ability, resulting from sub-millimeter and far
infrared physics, to operate on the visually obscured battlefield; Soldier
and equipment protection via nonlinear optics; improvements in lasers for
enhanced warfare capabilities including improved target designation,
chemical and biological agent sensing, and detection of personnel,
exploiting deeper understanding of quantum phenomena and photonic band-gap
materials; and quantum computing for the solution of difficult logistics
and other problems. Use this link to contact information to find out more about our specific programs.
