THEME: Prototyping & Experimentation
The Directed Energy Test & Evaluation Joint Conference on T&E Support to Prototyping and Experimentation, co-sponsored by the Directed Energy Professional Society and the International Test & Evaluation Association, concentrates primarily on the significant increases in prototyping and experimentation efforts and explores the role of T&E in prototyping, experimentation, and other developmental activities.
Key plenary speakers, panel discussions, and technical sessions will work together to identify challenges, solutions, innovations and a future state; all contributing to moving us closer to the creation of an infrastructure and principles conducive to testing and training in a more operationally realistic environment.
