Symposium Overview

The 2022 Directed Energy Systems Symposium was held 14-18 November in La Jolla, CA at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines, 10950 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, CA 92037.

The DE Systems Symposium focused on systems aspects of DE in a limited-attendance environment. Portions of the Systems Symposium were conducted at the Secret level, and attendance at all sessions were limited to U.S. citizens with security clearances, who are employees of the U.S. Government or its contractors.

The theme of the Systems Symposium was DE system program status, integration, fielding, and deployment issues, and other challenges facing DE technologies to transition into meaningful systems that can be used by the warfighter.

With the focus of the Systems Symposium having been DE system program status, integration, fielding, and deployment issues, and other challenges facing DE technologies to transition into meaningful systems that can be used by the warfighter, the opening Tuesday morning plenary session was full of the services DE program level talks with supporting technical breakout sessions having followed in the afternoon. Tuesday PM, Wednesday and Thursday were comprised of oral presentations that focused on system level contributions. DEPS encouraged the use of these presentation time slots to further detail the systems discussed at the plenary.

System focus areas for technical breakout sessions included

  • Counter-Unmanned Aerial System Capabilities
  • HEL Programs and Systems
  • HPM Programs and Systems
  • HEL Effects
  • HEL Lethality
  • HPM Effects
  • DE System Modeling and Wargaming
  • CDEW Technologies
  • DE Bio-effects
  • Pulsed Laser Systems and Effects
  • DE Manufacturing
  • DE for Undersea Domain

This format was designed to inform interested parties especially our future DE warfighters about the general state of this emerging militarily relevant technology. It also provided our research and development scientists and engineers with a comprehensive view of current technology needs.
