Plasma diagnostics for high power microwaves

The University of Texas at Austin received a $337,576 Project Grant award from the Department of the Navy Secretary of the Navy Office of Naval Research to support research titled "Plasma Diagnostics for High Power Microwaves" from February 1, 2023 through January 31, 2024.

The grant funding will support basic and applied scientific research with potential to improve naval operations, as part of the Basic and Applied Scientific Research program (CFDA 12.300). Specifically, the University of Texas at Austin will conduct research to develop plasma diagnostics for high power microwaves over the one year period. Findings from this research have the potential to enhance microwave technology and its applications. As the parent organization, the University of Texas System will oversee administration of funding provided to its sub-awardee, the University of Texas at Austin, to support the outlined research activities.
