The High Energy Laser (HEL) Lethality Conference assembled scientists and engineers interested in HEL weapon lethality. The objectives of the conference were: 1) focus the conference on dynamic testing consistent with the overall theme of the DE Systems Symposium, 2) to use the forum as a means to inform the HEL community and potential HEL Weapons implementers of the latest findings regarding lethality work, and 3) to continue to cultivate synergism between the HEL communities to effectively transition High Energy Laser Weapons to the warfighter. This seventh annual HEL Lethality Conference was held on 12-16 April 2010 in Monterey, CA as a part of the
