This will be a continuous-wave (CW), millimeter-wave Free-Electron Laser that is expected to have unique properties, including high average power and stable, single-frequency operation, and will also demonstrate "next generation" principles. The FEL and accelerator form a self contained unit. Most accelerator components were purchased from NEC1.
