DIRECTED ENERGY PROFESSIONAL SOCIETY


Directed Energy Modeling & Simulation Conference 2005
14-17 March 2005 Tampa, Florida

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 transition and acquisition success.

The scope of this third annual DE M&S conference encompassed:

  • high energy laser (HEL) and high power microwaves (HPM)
  • virtual and constructive M&S
  • physics and engineering, engagement, mission, and campaign levels
  • unclassified and classified topics
  • government, academic, and industry viewpoints
  • M&S technology and techniques, such as VV&A, distributed simulation methodology
  • DE M&S in test and evaluation
