Progress in the development and application of high power microwave (HPM) technologies for directed
energy missions was explored in this conference, the fifth in a series
of DEPS conferences specifically devoted to High Power Microwaves.
This conference was specifically designed for SECRET US and UK discussions and presentations and participation
in was limited to U.S. and U.K. citizens with the proper visit request on file.
The preliminary agenda is presented here. Changes in the final program did occur.
