The Directed Energy to DC Exhibition (DE2DC) is part of the Directed Energy Outreach Campaign, which has been successfully educating decision makers and warfighters on RF and laser directed energy weapons technologies and capabilities since January 2009. The DE2DC Exhibition provides an opportunity for Government and industry from across the United States to exhibit mature directed energy hardware at the Pentagon and on Capitol Hill. DEPS is pleased to offer this opportunity for the third consecutive year. The 2014 DE2DC Exhibition will be held in Washington DC on 1-3 April 2014.
