Abstracts
The abstract deadline has passed. If you were unable to submit your abstract in time, please contact Cristina Crowson directly at cristina@deps.org.
Authors will be notified on or before 9 July 2021 of acceptance of their paper for presentation.
Authors may choose whether to release the title and/or the abstract content online. Those who do not yet have public release approval are encouraged
to submit the abstract or a simple title to serve as a placeholder before the deadline, then select the appropriate options on the submission form
to keep the details off the Website listing.
The conference committee understands that to fully describe the work, the abstract may require supplemental FOUO information.
Authors needing to submit abstract information that is not public release should submit a Dist A/ Public Release placeholder abstract using the online system,
then contact the appropriate Technical Chair for instructions on submitting the additional information.
Please contact webmaster@deps.org with any technical issues regarding
abstract submission. Subject matter questions regarding abstracts should be directed to a member of
the
symposium technical committee.
Note: While an automated email is sent confirming receipt of your abstract, some military domains may block delivery of
such an email. If you do not receive email confirmation, you may check this
online listing of submitted abstracts. This listing is dynamically generated based on
abstracts received at the time the page is displayed and author permission (granted when submitted). If the title of your
abstract (or the abstract number assigned) is contained in this listing, it has been received by DEPS.
Submission Instructions
General information on the submission of abstracts, presentations, papers and release forms is provided here. Specific
instructions for sending presentations and papers is provided below. Presentations and papers will be considered
for acceptance at Unclassified open/public release, and Limited Distribution C and D levels.
Note that it is the responsibility of the lead author to obtain all approvals and releases for
submitted abstracts, presentations, and papers. All submitted materials including unclassified presentations
must be appropriately marked for any distribution restrictions.
Additionally, please identify the presenter (if different from the lead author) and update contact information.
Presentations and Papers
Authors should note that all presentations are due by 23 July.
This deadline should be kept in mind when scheduling presentation creation and seeking institutional permissions to
present at the Symposium.
Presentations should be in Microsoft PowerPoint format. The file name of the presentation must include the abstract number. Any video material used must be imbedded within your presentation

Authors are encouraged to submit papers based on their presentations to be published in the Symposium proceedings.
Papers should be in Microsoft Word or PDF format, and follow the DEPS Conference Paper Format instructions.
With author approval, papers may also be forwarded for consideration by editors of the Journal of Directed Energy,
a peer-reviewed publication.
Papers and presentations must be assigned the appropriate authorized Distribution Statement as well as with the pertinent security markings.
