DIRECTED ENERGY PROFESSIONAL SOCIETY


Directed Energy Test & Evaluation Conference 2007
7-9 August 2007 Albuquerque, New Mexico
Platinum Conference Sponsor

Co-Hosted by the
International Test & Evaluation Association

Overview

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 currently adapting to these radically new technologies. New measures, methods, and facilities are required for adequate T&E of these systems.

The purpose of this sixth annual conference was to continue exchanging 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 to the DE T&E community. This conference provided a forum to discuss the current and future issues facing DE T&E. The final program is available here in PDF form.
