Presentations: Two short presentations from fusion innovators outlining and explaining fusion-derived technology and its application for DEW.

Panel Discussion: fusion-derived advancements in high-power systems and applications in next-generation defence platforms as disruptive DEW and countermeasures. 

• High-Power Architectures: An overview of cutting-edge fusion-derived RF, laser, and EMP designs including novel amplification and pulse-generation techniques, and their respective advantages for defence applications.
• Directed-Energy Weapons (DEW): Advantages and challenges of current laser-based and RF-based DEWs and the potential for fusion-derived advancements across the DEW spectrum.
• Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Effects: The role of high-power EMP as a non-kinetic, area-denial and electronic warfare tool covering directed EMP for targeted electronics disruption, hardening and survivability considerations.
• Countermeasure Precision Effects: The use of lasers for dazzling optical sensors, directed RF and EMP for disabling electronics, and generating laser or EMP arrays to defeat incoming threats.
