Call for Papers
The secondary location has requested that attendees do not drive their own vehicles to the offsite facility. Busses will be provided (Tues-Thurs) from the hotel to the offsite for those with the proper security information on file.
If an individual does not ride the bus, DEPS will not be responsible for assisting them with access to the offsite facility.
*We are encouraging UK participation at this event. Please plan your presentations accordingly and obtain FDO approval if necessary.
Contributions are being solicited for papers and presentations that support a system level view of Directed Energy Weapons (DEW) at CUI Limited Distribution C/D levels as well as Secret/UK and Secret/NOFORN. Papers and presentations that provide a mission level perspective of DEW, helping to provide context to the warfighters, are sought as well. Papers and presentations from a DEW sub-system, or technology perspective which are focused on transition to operational capability will also be considered. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Counter-Unmanned Aerial System Capabilities
The theme for this year's Directed Energy Systems Symposium CsUAS session is deliver the system and demonstrate the capability. Maturation of major subsystems combined with an ever-advancing threat place DE weapons at the forefront of the solution space for a critical warfighter capability gap. The purpose of this session is to highlight relevant DE-CsUAS weapon system demonstrations with emphasis on system performance, Concept of Operations (CONOPS), and integration with Command and Control(C2) networks. Contributions consistent with these purposes are solicited.
HEL Programs and Systems
The HEL Programs and Systems sessions will focus on HEL Program and System status. Papers are being sought that:
- Provide details on HEL Programs status and plans
- Describe platform and subsystem integration progress, issues, and risk reduction.
- Provide details for land, air and sea-based HEL deployment status
HPM Programs and Systems
The HPM Programs and Systems sessions will focus on HPM Program and System status. Papers are being sought that:
- Provide details on HPM Programs status and plans
- Describe platform and subsystem integration progress, issues, and risk reduction.
- Provide details for land, air and sea-based HEL deployment status
HEL Effects
The HEL Effects Topic seeks presentations describing atmospheric characterization systems in support of current or future HEL systems. Atmospheric characterization systems can provide information for forecasts or nowcasts of HEL system performance, and possible mitigation or exploitation of atmospheric characteristics. HEL Effects include: thermal blooming, absorption and scattering by molecules and aerosol, hydrometeor extinction, transmission through clouds, and optical turbulence. HEL systems include laser weapon systems, laser communication systems, and power beaming systems. Please note that this is a systems symposium: submissions should describe atmospheric systems and integrations solutions, rather than focus on singular technical details more appropriate for the Annual DEPS Science and Technology Symposium.
HEL Lethality
The High Energy Laser (HEL) Lethality sessions will assemble scientists and engineers interested in HEL weapon lethality. The objectives of these sessions will be to: 1) address lethality requirements for HEL weapons on the battlefield, 2) present results from testing and modeling & analysis of complex targets, 3) use the forum to inform the HEL community and HEL Weapons implementers of recent lethality work, 4) discuss missions of interest from a lethality viewpoint, and 5) cultivate synergism between the HEL Lethality communities to effectively transition High Energy Laser Weapons. Papers are solicited for the HEL Lethality sessions as described below:
- HEL lethality studies conducted by program offices and other research organizations working in the area of systems engineering and target system response will be featured. This includes engagement level analysis and system data supporting the development of HEL weapon lethality criteria for targets of interest.
- Work sponsored by program offices and other organizations conducting experimental as well as theoretical research will be presented. This includes basic optical, mechanical and thermal investigation on materials, components, and systems. Continuous Wave (CW), pulsed, and ultra-short pulsed (USP) laser effects will be covered.
HPM Effects
The HPM Effects session seeks presentations describing
- Empirical characterization of targets for current and next generation HPM systems
- Development of predictive models for targets of current and next generation HPM systems
- Analysis of waveforms for emerging HPM systems
- Methods for field characterization of HPM systems (range setups, field sensors, bore sighting)
DE System Modeling and Wargaming
High-Energy Laser (HEL) and High-Power Electromagnetic (HPEM) Directed Energy (DE) technologies are becoming game changers with the potential to create a revolution in air, land, sea, and space-based military affairs. Wargaming, modeling and simulation (M&S) of DE at the mission and campaign levels must be employed to inform the evolution of concepts of operation (CONOPS), concepts of employment (CONEMP), tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP), weaponeering, command and control (C2), and much more in constructive (in silico) wargaming, virtual wargaming with humans in- and on-the-loop, and in live wargaming. The goal of the 2022 Directed Energy Systems and Wargaming Topic session will focus on systems aspects of DE with respect to wargaming modeling and simulation.
CDEW Technologies
DE Bio-effects
Presentations are being sought for the Directed Energy Bioeffects
session. Empirical, analytical, and computational efforts that relate to
biological effects produced by DE exposures and systems are welcome.
Potential categories include: human studies, dosimetry, modeling, in vitro
and in vivo studies, standards discussions, and occupational exposure and
risk assessments. Both CUI and Classified papers from the community are requested.
Pulsed Laser Systems and Effects
The Pulsed Laser Systems and Effects sessions will focus on Pulsed Lasers, and Beam Control Systems to support Pulsed Lasers, and Pulsed Laser Effects. Papers are being sought that:
- Provide details on Pulsed Laser System development including new and advanced capabilities, laser architectures, and a path towards full system integration.
- Describe efforts to adapt existing Beam Control approaches to Pulsed Lasers, requirements unique to Pulsed Lasers and solutions to meet those requirements.
- Report on effects unique to Pulsed Lasers, requirements to produce those effects, and status of efforts aimed towards demonstrating a capability.
DE Manufacturing
DE for Undersea Domain
High-energy lasers (HELs) are directed energy weapons (DEWs) for undersea platform at sea-air interface offer speed of light stealth engagements, low cost per deployment and for ownership, high return on investment (ROI), practically limitless magazine capacity, and precision strike capability for clandestine, defensive and an offensive weapon for fixed and mobile targets at periscope depth. In this sessions we will address all topics related to undersea platform DEW technology maturation, platform integration and DE lethality challenges. Topics of interest include:
- Laser on Sub (both CUI and Secret submissions)
- Single Aperture Beam Director
- SBS Reduced Fiber
- 2 um kW Laser for marine application
- Broad Band Submarine Head Window
- Marine Atmospheric Model and Data Visualization
- METOC Sensor (Source and Sensor)
- Broad Band TEC Cooled Sensor (2.5 to 12 um)
Note that all persons wishing to present at the Directed Energy Systems Symposium will be required to submit an abstract.
