Delivering Technological Overmatch to the Multi-Domain Battlefield
Future weapons, including
directed energy weapons have been in the Research & Development phase for the past several years. As the US armed forces, continue to develop and innovate in order to achieve battlefield overmatch and superiority, the
Directed Energy weapon systems are making their way form the R&D phase to DoD and Military programs as the next step before acquisition and force integration.
Over the three-day summit we will examine the latest
DE advancements, initiatives and plans regarding technology, acquisition and service roadmaps. This venue will bring together thought leaders, acquisition executives, industry solution providers, and academia in order to tackle some of the challenges that face this community in the near, mid, and far term fight. We will look to gain insight and lessons learned from warfighter perspectives on the operational challenges and requirements of
DES that will influence the capabilities of this game-changing technology.
Topics we'll cover in the main conference include:
- DoD and MIlitary Roadmap For Directed Energy Systems
- Operational Challenges and Advantages of DES for the 21st Century Warfighter
- Implementing HEL DES Into the SHORAD Strategy to counter Group 1 UASs
- Advancements in Power Re-Generation, Storage, and Thermal Management Solutions for Directed Energy Systems
