The initial High Energy Laser Lethality
Conference assembled scientists and engineers conducting research within the broad technology
area of High Energy Laser (HEL) weapon lethality analysis to discuss a variety of current topics.
The conference objective was to use the forum as a way to inform the HEL community of the latest
findings regarding lethality work and identify the warfighter’s needs through the perspective of
operational elements of the Army, Navy, and Air Force through oral presentations and poster
sessions. The conference was conducted at the SECRET level and attendance was limited
to U.S. citizens only.
