DIRECTED ENERGY PROFESSIONAL SOCIETY


Directed Energy Modeling and Simulation Conference 2008
3-7 March 2008 Monterey, California

The modeling and simulation (M&S) of Directed Energy phenomena, devices, systems, engagements, and missions is expanding in importance as DE systems are being developed and acquired. This is especially true now that several DE systems are entering the formal acquisition and development process. The heavy dependence upon M&S throughout the lifecycle of modern systems makes M&S critical to transition and acquisition success.
