Details on the
presentations within each sessionis available in this Detailed
Program in PDF form. Note
that changes to the program did occur.
Student Session
As is traditional, the 2015 Annual Symposium included a student session chaired by a member of the High Energy Laser
Joint Technology Office. The purpose of this session, beyond just the communication of research results to interested
Symposium attendees, is to let the JTO sample the work being pursued by students, especially those that it supports
by internships or scholarships. The Student Session also permitted students to make presentations in a presumably less daunting
environment. A student presenter can choose to make the same presentation in the student session as well as in a
general Symposium session.
Location & Accommodations
The 2015 Annual Directed Energy Symposium was held at the Hyatt Regency Orange County
located at 11999 Harbor Boulevard, Garden Grove, CA 92840. Garden Grove and nearby Anaheim offer many local attractions for
attendees and companions.
