DESCRIPTION:This talk will introduce a general engineering audience to Dire
 cted Energy (DE) weapon technologies and their application in modern warfa
 re.\n\nThe Directed Energy (DE) community finds itself at a point of conve
 rgence between the state of the art of various forms of DE-weapon technolo
 gy\, and a growing number of emerging and asymmetric threats that those DE
  weapons can reasonably address in a more cost-effective manner than exist
 ing\, and thus far conceived\, conventional kinetic weapons. Guided rocket
 s\, artillery\, mortars\, and the proliferation of unmanned systems for bo
 th intelligence\, surveillance\, and reconnaissance (ISR) and strike\, are
  a few of the many evolving threats that may be addressable by currently a
 vailable DE capabilities\, both high-energy lasers (HEL) and high-power mi
 crowave/radiofrequency (HPM/HPRF) systems. This immergence of addressable 
 threats\, the low cost per engagement\, and a deep electrical magazine\, a
 llows for DE capabilities to reduce engagement costs and enhance force pro
 tection.\n\nWe are now operating under a new paradigm for DE weapons\, whe
 re the warfighters and acquisition community need answers on how\, and not
  if or when\, DE weapons are to be used. So\, this now begs the questions 
 of: How do we operationalize DE weapons? How might such weapons be used? a
 nd What are their implications for modern warfare?\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEE
