(DEW) technologies for military missions was explored in this conference. It expanded upon the
2010 RF DEW Conference to include the co-located
Laser DEW Conference, sharing plenary and social events.
This Symposium was specifically designed for Secret U.S. and U.K. discussions and presentations, under bilateral exchange
