About Directed Energy Symposium 2026

The 9th Annual Directed Energy Symposium will convene leading experts, policymakers, senior leaders, and innovators across the Directed Energy community to explore the latest advancements and applications in directed energy systems and technologies supporting the Warfighter and national defense objectives. Discussions at the event will provide valuable insights into the evolving landscape of directed energy warfare and the associated opportunities and challenges. This Symposium arrives at an inflection point for the directed energy enterprise; DoW has moved past proof of concept and declared directed energy operationally mature and a critical technology for national defense. As such, this Symposium will explore efforts towards scaling, sustaining, and fighting with directed energy.
