The 2017 Directed Energy Systems Symposium will be held on 25-29 September in Monterey, California, at the
Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel
and at the Naval Postgraduate School.
The DE Systems Symposium focuses on systems aspects of DE in a limited-attendance environment.
Portions of the Systems Symposium will be conducted at the Secret level, and attendance at all sessions is
limited to U.S. citizens with security clearances, who are employees of the U.S. Government
or its contractors. See
Security section.
Proceedings of the Symposium will be published. See our
Online Store for proceedings of previous Directed Energy Systems Symposia.

Substantial program changes have been made to the 2017 DE Systems Symposium. These changes are a reaction to the increasing
opportunities to transition Directed Energy Weapon concepts. The opening plenary morning session will be replaced by a full
day of system level talks. DEPS has received confirmation that six DoD efforts will be participating. These invited
talks include LWSD, GBAD, HELMTT, HIJENKS, SHiELD and HADES. Following this exclusive event are two days of presentations
and posters that focus on system level contributions. DEPS encourages the use of additional presentation time slots
to further detail the systems. These presentations will be scheduled in the sessions following the plenary.
System focus areas for technical breakout sessions
- System Trades
- Applied Beam Control
- Laser Maturation
- Auxiliary Functions
- Lessons Learned
- Mission Models
- Applied HPM
- Lethality
- Policy
This new format is designed to inform interested parties about the general state of this emerging militarily relevant
technology. It also provides our research and development scientists and engineers with a comprehensive view of current
technology needs.
