Abstract
This paper presents a means by which the chemical laser device weight can be minimized with respect to its performance and the device power minimized with respect to the target range. Chemical laser performance parameters such as the specific power and nozzle power flux are then used in conjunction with weight and propagation models to determine system effectiveness. A measure of merit is given by which systems can be contrasted. An illustrative example is included in which DF and Iodine laser systems are compared for an airborne scenario. 14 references.
