DIRECTED ENERGY
PROFESSIONAL SOCIETY
Directed Energy Modeling & Simulation Conference 2004 |
|
9-11 March 2004 |
Huntsville, Alabama | |
|
|
|
The modeling and simulation (M&S) of
Directed Energy (DE) phenomena, devices, systems, and engagements is expanding in importance as DE
systems are being developed and acquired. This is especially true now that several DE systems are
entering the formal development and acquisition process. The heavy dependence upon M&S throughout
the lifecycle of modern systems makes M&S critical to acquisition success.
This year’s conference focused on the role of M&S relative to the entry of several DE
systems into the formal development process. This included the impact of the changes to the
acquisition process and to M&S as applied to spiral development. The scope of the conference encompassed:
- high energy laser (HEL) and high power microwaves (HPM)
- virtual and constructive M&S
- all levels of detail from basic physics and engineering through campaign levels
- unclassified and classified topics
- government, academic, and industry viewpoints
- M&S technology and techniques, such as VV&A, distributed simulation methodology
Conference Highlights
- Classified, limited distribution, and open technical sessions
- Short Courses
- Tuesday evening reception
- Government, academic, and industry exhibit booths
- Breakfast, lunch, and break refreshments
- Unclassified proceedings published after the Conference
Plenary Speakers
- Michael Cochrane, Directed Energy in the Battlelab
- Scott McPheeters, M&S Applied to MTHEL
- Glen Perram, JTO M&S Plan
- Jerry Wilson, M&S Applied to ADS
