The conference objective was threefold: 1) to identify and focus lethality work to better support
the warfighter with particular emphasis on special operations missions, 2) to use the forum as a means
to inform the HEL community of the latest
findings regarding lethality work, and 3) to establish synergism with the modeling and simulation (M&S)
community where lethality and M&S interact. To accomplish the first objective,
operational elements of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines were invited to provide their
perspectives through oral presentations, papers and poster sessions.
The intent of the Lethality Conference was to publish the proceedings after the conference including formal
papers, presentations and poster papers. The conference was conducted at the Secret level and attendance
was limited to U.S. citizens only.
The High Energy Laser Lethality Conference was conducted in parallel with the Directed Energy Modeling
and Simulation Conference to enhance synergism between the two functional areas. The two conferences
hosted some joint sessions and shared facilities and administrative resources.
However, each conference plans to publish separate proceedings.
