Co-Sponsored by the
The Directed Energy (DE) Systems Symposium focuses on systems aspects of DE in a limited-attendance environment. The Fifth DE Systems Symposium consisted of co-located technical sessions organized by six separate conferences, with joint technical and plenary sessions to encourage discussion outside narrow technical limits. The objective of this year’s symposium was to provide a forum for the interchange of ideas and to focus on near term demonstrations of DE technology. Previous Symposia were also held in Monterey.
