This statement is d Rear Admiral Massimo Annati (Retd.), by no means new – it has led planners to wrong conclusions and Chairman, European Working Group on to warfighters lacking much needed capabilities. But is now the Non-Lethal Weapons right time for DES to be fielded? d Ronald O’Rourke, Specialist in Naval Affairs, Congressional Research This is a key question to be discussed during the upcoming Service conference. And in reflection of how we are getting closer to d Anthony Riesemann, establishing programmes to field Directed Energy technology, Expert of Less than Lethal Weapon, Member of we have found a good balance between users, industry, planners EWG-NLW, Member of the NATO Group Team of and academia.

09:30 – 12:30: Workshop A
Countering DEW – Fundamental Issues Led by: Michael Cathcart, Principle Research Scientist, Georgia Tech Research Institute Advancements in directed energy technology continue to be made with a corresponding increase in system developments and improvements. These technology innovations have led to improvements in proposed systems and the development of newer, more compact designs; both of which make directed energy weapons more practical. In addition, these advancements have made access to this technology of more interest to a wider range of users, in particular, potential adversaries. As a result, it has become necessary to understand the impact of directed energy weapons in greater detail and determine methods to mitigate their effects. This workshop provides an introduction to the field of counter-DEWs discussing the basic scientific aspects of protecting systems from DEW including system susceptibilities and vulnerabilities and review technologies available to counter the effects of DEW. Future research directions in counter-DEW technology will also be discussed. By attending this workshop, you will develop an understanding of the technologies, issues and solutions surrounding efforts to counter directed energy weapon systems. Topics you will learn about include: • System Vulnerabilities • Sensor Hardening • Propagation Effects • Operational Techniques • Directions in C-DEW
12:30 – 13:30 Networking lunch
13:30 – 16:30 Workshop B
Exploring the Future Direction of Non-Lethal Weapons Led by: Sjef Orbons, Former Senior Scientist, Netherlands Ministry of Defence Non-Lethal Weapons are an area of increasing interest, given the changing threat environment. However, whilst development of these technologies is strong, the deployment of these weapons has been restricted due to several complex issues, including the ethical implications of using them.
Led by a dedicated member of the European Non-Lethal Weapon community, this workshop will explore the future of Non-Lethal Weapons by examining current capabilities and the lessons learned from previous NLW programs to establish the foundations of how NLW’s can be utilised successfully in the future.
By attending this workshop, you will: • Gain a Euro-centric view of a field traditionally led by the United States • Understand the current capabilities and requirements of Non-Lethal Weapons • Gain an insight into the future development of NLW’s, and the issues to be overcome in promoting their acceptance, both technically and morally.
