DE2DC Postponed Until 2021
DE2DC Exhibition in the foyer of the Rayburn House Office Building
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 HPM and laser directed energy weapon
systems and capabilities since January 2009. The DE2DC Exhibition provides an opportunity for government,
industry and academia from across the United States to educate and exhibit mature directed energy hardware at the Pentagon
and on Capitol Hill. DE-JTO and DEPS are pleased to offer this opportunity for the ninth consecutive year.
Details about the previous exhibitions are available here.
The Congressional Directed Energy Caucus welcomes the opportunity represented by this Exhibition.
The Caucus Co-Chairs, Representatives Jim Langevin (D-RI) and Doug Lamborn (R-CO), sent a
letter last year, expressing their gratitude for this annual educational event.
The Assistant Secretary of Defense has also expressed support for the DE2DC Exhibition as
an educational opportunity for the DOD to learn about Directed Energy.
The 2020 DE2DC Exhibition will be held in Washington DC on 30 March - 1 April 2020. Exhibit material will be set up in the Pentagon
Courtyard on Monday morning, 30 March. The event begins with the Pentagon Courtyard exhibition on Monday afternoon and Tuesday,
and then closes with an exhibit and reception in the Rayburn Foyer on Capitol Hill on Wednesday.
The Pentagon Courtyard exhibition offers large 10x10 feet tented spaces, suitable for exhibits, posters, and large hardware.
An item that can fit down the tunnel into the courtyard can be exhibited. In the first year, Active Denial and MATTS were just two of the mobile
displays staged on the courtyard. If an item is too large, accommodations at parking level can be arranged. Large hardware and models of
existing hardware are encouraged and welcome.
Exhibit space at the Rayburn House Foyer is limited, offering a space four feet wide by eight feet deep with table, suitable for exhibits and posters.
Exhibit spaces will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis. A detailed draft exhibitor timeline is given below.
