Over the last fifteen years, the Department of Defense spent more than $24 billion buying a mix of capabilities to defeat guided missile threats to U.S. and partner naval forces and land installations.

Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments (CSBA) and Booz Allen are pleased to announce our second annual DE Summit in Washington DC on June 23, 2016. Our first of its kind DE Summit in 2015 brought together 350 attendees, including members of Congress, Department of Defense decision makers, and industry leaders, to explore issues and solutions related to fielding future DE capabilities.

Please join Dr. Andrew Krepinevich and Jacob Cohn for a scenario-based assessment of the competitive dynamics of the Second Nuclear Age. The assessment explores, among other things, the implications for extended deterrence, crisis stability, missile defense, prompt conventional global strike, growing multipolar or “n-player competitions, and planning assumptions as they have been influenced by advances in the cognitive sciences, to include prospect theory.

The Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments will release its latest report Winning The Airwaves: Sustaining America's Advantage In The Electromagnetic Spectrum on Wednesday December 2, 2015 at 9:00 AM. The release will be held in the House Visitors Center (Room HVC 201) in the U.S. Capital Visitor Center.

On July 28th the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments and Booz Allen Hamilton co-hosted the first Directed Energy Summit, which brought together senior leaders from Congress, the Department of Defense, and industry to discuss the need to initiate new DE weapons programs. The Summit was covered extensively in the August 17–30 edition of Aviation Week & Space Technology in a five-article feature highlighting the event's major takeaways as well as speaker revelations on DE technologies including laser, railgun, and microwave weapons.

Please join Booz Allen and the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessment (CSBA) at the Directed Energy Summit to explore new issues and solutions related to fielding directed energy (DE) and related capabilities.
