The MSS Active E-O Systems Symposium provides the premier classified forum for the military application of Active Electro-Optical (E-O) and laser systems. Our annual meeting features presentations on requirements and solutions based on efforts carried out by government, industry, and academic organizations. Our symposium accepts both classified and unclassified papers. This is a unique forum for presenting classified and sensitive unclassified materials not approved for public release.
This forum seeks to motivate in-depth discussion of emerging mission requirements and report on system capabilities that leverage active E-O technologies to meet current and future threats and / or provide a distinct military advantage in land, sea, air, and space environments. Building stronger collaboration between government S&T managers, laboratories, industry, and academic partners is a key to this objective and will serve to accelerate the development of fielded capabilities that meet future requirements. Reports detailing the technical advances achieved, challenges remaining, and the opportunities for future work should include material, component, subsystem and system demonstrations, the calibration, processing, analysis, and exploitation methods needed to drive future active E-O capabilities.
