The Directed Energy Professional Society (DEPS)
The Directed Energy Professional Society (DEPS) is the premier organization for the exchange of information on the development and application of directed energy (DE), which includes both high energy lasers (HEL) and high power microwaves (HPM). DEPS fosters research and development of DE technology for national defense and civil applications through professional communication and education. The traditional academic disciplines involved in DE research include, but are not limited to, physics, electrical engineering, chemistry, chemical engineering, materials sciences, optical sciences, optical engineering, and aerospace engineering.
Each year scholarships are awarded to qualified individuals. The number and amount of 2009-2010 scholarship awards will depend on available funding, which is provided by the High Energy Laser Joint Technology Office and by DEPS. View DEPS website for more information
