Workshops
10.00 - 13:00 Workshop A: Understanding And Evaluating Highpower Microwave Sources And Systems
Led by:
Dr. John Swegle
Senior Advisory Scientist
Savannah River National Laboratory
The field of high-power microwaves is roughly divided into high-peak-power and highaverage- power systems. High-peak-power systems are capable of producing pulses of 100 ns or more at gigawatt power levels across the microwave band from 1-10 GHz and up into the millimeter-wave frequency regime.
High-average-power systems, on the other hand, operate at powers of hundreds of kW for durations that may extend from seconds to cw. The microwave sources are a key technology in both regimes.
This course will be aimed at developing an understanding of these systems and choices for newcomers and at expanding the intuitive grasp of the more experienced technologist.
Discussions will examine several key topic areas including:
Review of the available technology for realising HPM systems
Setting requirements and scoping HPM systems
Alternative paths for building an HPM system
Evaluating the tradeoffs in capability, size, and mass

13.30 - 16:30 Workshop B : Issues And Challenges Relating The Operation And Application Of Directed Energy Systems
Led by:
Dr. Michael Cathcart
Chief Remote Sensing Group, Principal Research Scientist
Georgia Technology Research Institute
Advances in directed energy technologies have made the operational deployment of directed energy a reality. These unconventional weapon and countermeasure systems bring both unique capabilities and challenges to the battlefield and require a new standard of thinking. The technical advantages of directed energy systems are well documented but issues related to DE deployment and operation less so. An understanding of these issues is critical to the successful deployment and application of these systems on the battlefield. These matters cover a range of areas including component technologies, materiel support, engagement tactics, and safety.
This workshop will help you understand the various issues associated with the deployment of directed energy systems including:
Target engagement tactics
Concept of operations
Collateral damage
Logistics
Maintenance
Training
