The beam control aspects of High Energy Lasers (HEL) Systems are critical to system performance.
The need for communication of concepts and ideas in this active field is vitally important.

As a forum for these considerations, the fifth annual Beam Control Conference was
held on 12-16 April 2010 to investigate issues surrounding the employment of DE weapons. The conference
was part of the Directed Energy Systems Symposium.
The 2010 DE Beam Control Conference maintained its focus as the premier DoD conference in laser
beam power projection. This year's conference was expanded to include sessions dedicated
to space situational awareness, free-space laser communication, and advanced adaptive optics.
Conference Highlights
