Directed Energy Systems are widely seen to be the next major development of military capability. High Power Microwaves (HPM) and High Energy Lasers (HEL) have a multitude of applications. The 9th annual Directed Energy Systems will go further than ever before to deliver a clear insight into this crucial area of future development.
Directed Energy Systems 2012 Will Enable You To:
- Be up to date with the latest programme developments from the major US organisations driving the directed energy sector, including the Air Force Research Laboratory, Air Combat Centre, Office of Naval Research and DARPA
- Asses the current work being carried out by European MoD’s into DES systems
- Learn about on-going research from leading research and development bodies in areas such as pulse power, meta-materials, non-lethal weapons, fiber lasers and more
- Move beyond mere technical development and learn about the development of military TTP’s and concept of operations for the practical use of Directed Energy Systems.
- For the first time at the event, hear about the work of major prime industry companies such as Boeing.
- Network face-to-face with military and industry contacts in an intimate environment that crowded trade shows cannot deliver
The 9th Annual Directed Energy Systems conference next February will build on the success of the series, introduci ng a speaker panel which will investigate the current status of development as well as the real world applications of this important technology.
