The theme for DES 2018 is "Transitioning to The Warfighter". While technical and scientific elements will be covered the focus will be on the future of militarily useful DE and the next steps required for these systems to earn their way onto platforms and into operations.
We are undoubtedly at a time where Directed Energy Systems are moving on to platforms across the tri-service. Technological progress is helping to meet SWaP-C challenges and the spectrum of threats-faced now includes UAVs and smaller targets which require, and provide operational rationale, for lower powered systems. At the same time missile defence requires the future operationalisation of high-powered systems. The race is on to field systems now, get this technology into the hands of the Warfighter, gain feedback on how the systems can be used and take an iterative approach to refine and design future systems. This information, and the capability gaps identified, can then be used by research institutions to secure targeted funding for programs which promise to close the capability gaps identified by the warfighter.
By Type (Weapon Systems, Communication and Surveillance Systems, Sensors and Computation Systems, Countermeasure Systems and Payload, Unmanned Underwater Vehicles), By Mode of Operation (Manned Operations, Autonomous Operations, Remotely Operations), By Application (Combat, C4ISR, Others), By Region, Competition, 2019-2029F
Download free sample pagesDES 2018 will contribute to the dialogue and expose capability planners, future operators and researchers to case-studies, developments in other nations, and help militaries share TTPS and Operational Concepts for this new capability. No more promises, DE is moving into operations!
Join us in London at the end of October to take part in this well-known international event. You will have the opportunity to gain both strategic and technical insight from military leaders, research scientists and industry experts, including roadmaps, goals, and the art of the possible. This will allow you to define future operational concepts, understand militarily useful applications of the latest technologies and help deliver the latest technology to the warfighter.
