3rd Directed Energy Systems

IDGA is proud to announce the return of our 3rd Directed Energy Systems Event this June 25-27, in Washington, D.C. Over the three-day summit we will look at what has changed and advanced in in the DE market over the past year with technology, acquisition and joint service road maps.

We will also take a deep dive into policy and operational considerations for the development and employment of these next generation weapons and how we can best transition from R&D to operational success when the technology is demonstrated.
