Directed Energy: Transforming America's Defense for the 21st Century
Held in part at the Naval Postgraduate School
In Cooperation with the
PMS-405, the Navy Directed Energy Weapons Office
The Fifth Annual Directed Energy Symposium
brought together government, industry, and academic leaders for discussions of current programs, technology
efforts, and the future of Directed Energy. Presentations covered a diverse spectrum from military
laboratories, program offices, the intelligence community, industry, national laboratories, universities,
policy makers, and scientific/engineering institutions. The Symposium provided both unclassified and
classified forums for the exchange of technical information in fields related to the development,
testing, and fielding of High Energy Laser (HEL) and High Power Microwave (HPM) systems.
Best Papers
The Best Paper Award is an annual award made by the Directed Energy Professional Society (DEPS) at
each Annual Directed Energy Symposium. The Award is based on technical quality, presentation, and
importance to the future of Directed Energy, as judged by a technical panel of experts selected by
DEPS as part of the Symposium Organizing Committee. The awards include a tabletop trophy and a
check for $500, provided by Brashear LP, a DEPS sponsor.
The best paper awards for this year are:
Best Laser Paper
Dr. Gon-Yen Shen (Goodrich Corporation), for his presentation "Dual-stage Deformable Mirror
Development"
Best HPM Paper
Dr. Kirk Hackett (Air Force Research Laboratory Directed Energy Directorate), for his presentation
"Active Denial System Technology."
Best Student Paper
Johnathan Neumann (University of Maryland), for his presentation "Laser Photocathode Driven
Microbunching of FEL Applications".
