Overview
Directed energy (DE) is an important and expanding
technology area for the military. Taken to include
High Energy Laser (HEL) and High Power Microwave
(HPM) systems, DE is creating a new class of weapons.
Military test and evaluation (T&E) is currently adapting
to these radically new technologies. New measures, methods,
and facilities are required for adequate T&E of these systems.

The purpose of this ninth annual conference is to
continue exchanging insights, experiences and ideas
regarding DE T&E. As major DE systems progress
through the various phases of T&E, critical questions
arise regarding our ability to perform appropriate and
affordable T&E. In addition, important issues regarding
the vulnerability of other, more conventional systems are
also of great interest to the DE T&E community. This
conference will provide a forum to discuss the current
and future issues facing DE T&E.
Conference Highlights
- Technical Presentations
- Short Courses
- Poster Papers
- Product and Service Exhibits from Industry, Government, and Academia
- Featured Speakers
- Panels, Luncheons, and an Evening Reception

Selection of a paper for the conference will be based on the abstract content and the
applicability to the conference theme. Papers selected for presentation will be based on
final session subjects, classification level and the preferences of the session chairs.
Note: If too many oral presentation submissions are received, some of the presentations
may be moved into the Poster Paper session. Authors will be notified of this decision.
No classified papers will be selected for poster presentation. The poster session will
