Optical Countermeasures continue to evolve and expand as new threats emerge and new technologies evolve to detect and defeat this ever-present threat. Additionally, new countermeasure methods continue to evolve and improve with the development of enabling component technologies, advanced systems concepts, integration with new platforms, and innovative technology employment strategies. Combined with advances in threat detection, laser and source technology, advanced pointer/tracker architectures, signal processing, data fusion, and advanced techniques, the diversity and sophistication of these capabilities continue to grow in support of a wide range of defense application. This conference presents an opportunity for experts, and those who wish to stay current on the latest advances in enabling technology, to interact, collaborate, and foster innovation in the development of these advanced countermeasure systems.
Further, while enabling technology development is an important and exciting topic in itself, development of enabling technology can be more interesting and exciting when considered within the context of application of that technology to address a specific problem. Further, examining enabling and emerging technology as the device level, problem level, and application level can help to define future application of this technology to both general and specific problem areas for difficult defense, security, and counter terrorism application. These new applications may create additional demands upon the supporting technologies, and, as a result, this conference will focus upon not only on enabling optical countermeasures, but also upon the practical applications of those discrete enabling technologies, and, in particular, new applications of optical countermeasure technology. Papers on military, commercial, laser/source, effects, and applications are solicited.
