    Two individuals — one in civilian attire and one in military camouflage uniform — are examining defense technology displays inside a tent at what appears to be a military technology exposition or trade show. The displays prominently feature directed energy weapons systems including High Energy Laser and High Power Radio Frequency technologies. The booth is associated with NAVSEA (Naval Sea Systems Command) Warfare Centers, specifically the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division.

    ARLINGTON, Va. (May 18, 2017) - Matthew Ketner - a Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) engineer - briefs directed energy capabilities at the second DoD Lab Day held at the Pentagon. Innovations from 63 Navy, Marine Corps, Army and Air Force laboratories and engineering centers were displayed during the collaborative event. Navy leaders have made directed-energy weapons a top priority to counter asymmetric threats, including unmanned and light aircraft and small attack boats that could be used to deny U.S. forces access to certain areas. High-energy lasers offer an affordable and safe way to target these threats at the speed of light with extreme precision and an unlimited magazine. NSWCDD, a Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) warfare center division, is a premier research and development center which serves as a specialty site for weapon system integration. The command's unique ability to rapidly introduce new technology into complex warfighting systems is based on its longstanding competencies in science and technology, research and development, and test and evaluation.
