Location & Accommodations Call for Papers Local Weather Co-Hosted by the 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.
Conference Highlights
Papers and presentations are sought on topics related to (but not limited to) the following.
Abstracts must be unclassified and are due by 4 May 2012. Abstracts should be submitted online by completing this form and must include: presentation title, a complete description of the presentation/paper, author's names/organizations, lead author contact information, expected classification of the presentation/paper as well as the expected distribution restrictions. Abstracts should be non-marketing and pertinent to the conference theme. Note: While an automated email is sent confirming receipt of your abstract, it is known that many military domains (e.g., af.mil) block delivery of such an email. If you do not receive email confirmation, you may check this listing of submitted abstracts. This listing is dynamically generated based on abstracts received at the time the page is displayed. If the title of your abstract is contained in this listing, it has been received by DEPS. Selection of a presentation for the technical program will be based on the abstract content and the applicability to the conference theme, as well as final session subjects, classification level and the preferences of the session chairs. Note that 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 be scheduled without conflict with other sessions and expanded to accommodate the need for detailed exchanges between colleagues. For questions on abstract submissions, please contact one of the technical co-chairs. Selected presentations may be webcasted. These presentations must be open, public release and must have the approval of their authors, as indicated on their release forms. The specific presentations to webcast will be selected after the technical program is determined. Preference will be given to presentations in sessions with a sequence of presentations that meet the webcast criteria. Authors are encouraged to submit papers as well as presentations. Unclassified papers accompanying presentations selected for the technical program will be published in the Conference proceedings and should follow the DEPS Conference Paper Format. Upon author approval, papers may be forwarded to the Journal of Directed Energy and the ITEA Journal for consideration. Detailed presentation and paper submittal instructions will be provided upon abstract acceptance. The DE T&E Conference will be held at the Sheraton Uptown, located at 2600 Louisiana Boulevard Northeast, Albuquerque, NM 87110. A block of rooms has been set aside at the Government Per Diem Rate. Contact the hotel directly at (505) 881-0000 and request the DEPS rate when making reservations. Deadline for making reservations under the room block is 15 July.
