Release Forms for Papers and Presentations
All authors, from both the US and the UK, are required to complete the applicable Release
Forms for each presentation or paper submitted. These release forms are due by 26 June 2024 and should be

It is the responsibility of the originator of a briefing/presentation to ensure the content is approved
for release to foreign attendees by their servicing Foreign Discloser Officer (FDO).
DEPS can facilitate FDO Approval for our AFRL, JDETO, or Navy/RF authors assuming posted deadlines are met.
All others must obtain approval from their servicing FDO, i.e., AFRL personnel must receive approval from AFRL
FDO, Army personnel must receive approval from ARL FDO, and Navy personnel must receive approval from NRL FDO.
Security Markings
All papers and presentations must be assigned the appropriate authorized
Release Statement (UK) or Distribution Statement (US) for publishing. Classified and limited release papers/presentations
must be approved for release to both the UK and US Government Agencies and their contractors.
All papers and presentations must be properly marked according to their classification and distribution.
Included in the distributions statement, the agreement being used should be called out. For example, if using the HEL agreement,
the distribution statement should include the "UK distribution authorized under MIE MOU: UK-RN-N-09-5969."
