Future Military Directed Energy Weapon Systems Symposium
The Future Military Directed Energy Weapon Systems and the Lethal and Non-lethal DEW market are experiencing an advanced rate of growth due to increasing defense budgets and technological innovation. Defense prime contractors are working in support with military forces to develop effective weapon systems. The changing nature of warfare in the current era and the increasing demand forlaser weapons are some of the major reasons driving the directed energy weapons market forward. High Energy Lasers, High Power Microwave and Particle Beam technologies reflect the directed energy weapons market growth generating almost $6 billion in 2015 and forecasted to climb to $24 Billion by 2021.
The major factors affecting this is the ever changing nature of warfare and the greater need for precision weapon systems. This two day General Session will be an outstanding opportunity for attendees to meet and interact with Key DEW subject matter experts from DoD, Government & Industry. As the Military Directed Energy market and technical requirements continue to grow, many questions remain.
These questions and many others will be addressed including:
- What are the Latest OSD DEW Roadmaps, Needs and New Initiatives?
- What are the Military Needs & Requirements in DEW and where Industry Opportunities are to be found
- What are the Major Factors Driving the DEW Market?
- Are prior restraints to growth to change with New Presidential Administration & Policies & Defense Budgeting?
These and many other critical questions will be examined during this outstanding two-day event.
