Why you cannot afford to miss Directed Energy Weapons 2008

‘Calendar year 2008 could indeed be the year that the Active Denial System could be deployed to Iraq’
- Col. Kirk Hymes, Director, Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate, USMC

Attend Directed Energy Weapons 2008 to share the knowledge and understanding from key programme managers and researchers from across Europe and the United States. This conference is the best forum to network informally with your industry and military peers, and will help you establish necessary relationships to go ahead with the development of your DEW programmes.

In only 2 days you will gain a complete overview of the current status and future direction of DEW programmes across nations.

Whatever your role in the research, development and monitoring of new weaponry technology, attend Directed Energy Weapons 2008 to ensure you are sufficiently informed and effectively positioned to facilitate the delivery of cutting-edge programmes is critical at this point in time.
