PROGRAM Programs Also: CRE, Compact Radiation Emitter, FPT CRE

01 Executive_Summary

Field Propulsion Technologies' Compact Radiation Emitter — $1.25M AFRL Phase II SBIR project. Assessed as 'the hardware maturation vehicle for the program's lethal output mechanism.' Leverages 3D turbulent magnetic reconnection — validated at LANL in 2014 — to produce non-kinetic directed energy effects. FPT founded July 2017 by Richard Banduric (Aurora, CO). 'New Electrodynamics' framework using metamaterial composite conductors. $2.8M+ from DARPA, AFRL, NSF. Dual-use: propellant-less propulsion AND directed energy. Curated alongside UnLAB by shared NSF program managers. Modern continuation of the weapons lineage — AFRL-funded directed energy device based on magnetic reconnection (same physics as FRC/spheromak formation). Corpus claims MH370 deployment — UNVERIFIED, high skepticism.
