Directed energy is an important and expanding technology area for the military.
Taken to include High Energy Laser (HEL) and High Power Microwave (HPM) systems, DE is creating a new class of
weapons. Military test and evaluation is now adapting to these radically new technologies. New measures, methods,
and facilities are required for adequate T&E of these systems.
The purpose of this fourth annual conference was to exchange insights, experiences,
and ideas regarding DE T&E. As major DE systems progress through the various phases of T&E,
critical questions arise regarding our ability to perform appropriate and affordable T&E.
Important issues regarding the vulnerability of other, more conventional systems are also of
great interest in DE T&E.
All plenary sessions were unclassified while the breakout sessions were held at both classified
and unclassified levels. Some of the unclassified sessions were restricted in attendance.
