Best Paper Awards
The Best Paper awards are made at each Symposium to selected papers in each of three categories, Best HEL Paper, Best
HPM Paper, and Best Student Paper. These awards are based on the technical quality, importance to the future of DE,
and clarity of the selected papers, as judged by a panel of experts. The awards include a plaque and a monetary award,
underwritten by L-3 Communications, a DEPS sponsor.
The best paper awards for this year are:
Best Student Paper
"Mitigating Tilt Anisoplanatism in Dynamic Targeting Applications". The paper was presented by
Maj Marcus Schulthess, a student at AFIT and was co-authored by Matthew Goda (AFIT) and Matthew
Whiteley (Alliant Techsystems ATK Mission Research).
Best HEL Paper
"Toward a Mission-Appropriate Measure of Laser Beam Quality". The paper was presented at the
Symposium by Sean Ross and was co-authored by Pete Latham, both of AFRL/DE.
Best HPM Paper
"Solid State Modulators for Directed Energy Applications". The paper was presented by Michael
Kempkes and was co-authored by Jeffrey Casey, Ian Roth, Neal Butler, and Marcel Gaudreau, all
of Diversified Technologies.
