Abstract (AI)
Laser power beaming - transmitting electric power without wires via laser - has been demonstrated for kilowatt power levels and kilometer distances. This paper reviews the demonstrated and projected capabilities and limitations of laser power beaming, and analyzes the requirements for several application areas relevant to defense and security: unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), communications relays, sensor networks, and field unit or forward base power.
Key Findings
1
Application requirements are analyzed for defense and security uses involving UAVs, communications relays, sensor networks, and field or forward-base power.
2
Laser power beaming enables wireless electrical power transmission over kilometer distances at demonstrated kilowatt power levels.
3
The analysis evaluates laser power beaming as a potential energy-delivery technology across multiple defense and security scenarios.
4
The paper reviews demonstrated and projected capabilities of laser power beaming, including its technical limitations.
