With an annual budget of more than $300 million, the AFRL's Directed Energy Directorate is responsible for all Air Force research and development of laser and high-power microwave technologies. The directorate conducts advanced technology research to support major directed energy applications such as the airborne laser, advanced tactical laser and active denial system.
The Chief Scientist is the directorate's primary adviser on scientific and technical matters, and the primary authority for the technical content of the science and technology portfolio.
Dr. Baker was born in Columbus, Ohio. He began his career in the Air Force in 1969 as a nuclear research officer at Kirtland AFB. In 1973 he became a civilian scientist at the base's Air Force Weapons Laboratory, where he performed and directed research and development efforts to advance pulsed power and plasma technology for nuclear weapons effects simulation. He became internationally known for developing intense plasma implosion X-ray sources. He subsequently initiated, performed and directed major directed energy weapons research and development efforts on high-energy particle beams, high power microwaves and high energy lasers.
Dr. Baker has written more than 50 publications in nuclear physics, plasma physics, pulsed power and directed energy.
