The Leading International Forum For The DES Community
Over the past 18 years, the Directed Energy Systems forum has become the most internationally focused and innovative DES forum worldwide. This year, the theme is "INTEGRATING DIRECTED ENERGY FOR USE BY THE WARFIGHTER" - drawing on directed energy solution providers with the military capability leads, directed energy researchers and users who are rapidly seeking to unlock the military utility of directed energy.
While these weapons have been in development for decades, it is only in recent years that they have started to become a viable option for military forces. We will explore how the industry is helping to make DEWs a reality by addressing key technical challenges, such as beam quality, power management, atmospheric compensation, and much more.
The conference is an opportunity to hear from senior scientists and engineers who are at the forefront of this exciting field. These experts will share their insights into how they are improving the performance of directed energy weapons, and discuss the latest research findings and trends in this area.
Another key focus of discussion will be the SWaP-C trade-offs involved in directed energy weapons. As we all know, the size, weight, power, and cost of these weapons are critical factors that can have a significant impact on their effectiveness in the field. The conference explore the latest developments in these areas, and discuss how industry is working to balance these trade-offs to produce weapons that meet the needs of military end-users.
Of course, this conference is about more than just learning and knowledge-sharing. It is also an opportunity to connect with fellow professionals, forge new relationships, and strengthen existing ones. We encourage you to take advantage of the many networking opportunities available, including the welcome reception, coffee breaks, and other social events.

ATTEND DES 2023 TO:
Better understand how DEWs can reduce casualties and collateral damage and how that will change future CONOPS and TTPs
Receive the latest market intelligence on adaptive optics, tracking technology, atmospheric compensation and HEL beam control
Solve your integration and affordability challenges via standardisation, miniaturisation and improved modular designs
Solve the issue of battle-hardening through test and evaluation of systems in the field and by understanding the effect of human factors under operational conditions
Master SWaP-C trade-offs across air, land and naval platforms as these systems earn their way into operations
Join us in June 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.
The Joint Forum
The forum is co-located with our Directed Energy System Conference and Military Radar Conference. Although the conference sessions will run independently, this will provide additional networking possibilities as well as an opportunity to sit in on sessions dealing with new technologies to counter the cost asymmetry on the battlefield in addition to incapacitating hypersonic threats.
The Military Radar conference will explore growing threats like Uninhabited Aerial Vehicles (UAV), advanced missiles and sophisticated electronic warfare tactics and techniques are pushing radar engineering to the limit. Fortunately, avantgarde technologies like artificial intelligence and quantum computing are emerging as potential solutions.
The Full Spectrum Air Defence conference will look at adversary advancements in ballistic missiles technology, next generation aircraft, and unmanned aerial systems utilising a variety of enhanced capabilities including stealth, manoeuvring re-entry vehicles, decoys, and jamming devices, the need to rapidly evolve air defence structures has become a necessity for all defence forces.
