Over $200M has been awarded on both Calls and for submitted White Papers in diverse areas of renewed Directed Energy Experimentation succeeding Industry Day on 19 October 2023 and counting from 8 February 2021 when the first Briefing for Industry Days were inaugurated. Twelve Calls have been issued, 6 awards for over $121M made. 139 White Papers have been received, with 10 awards made and seven in progress for a total of $83.4M, according to the latest information on DETER (directed energy technology experimentation research) awards received on request (reported earlier here) from Kirtland Air Force Base, as noted here today and newly posted online as publicly available at Sam.gov.
DETER 2023 was held at Kirtland Air Force Base.
The schedule and agenda posted online point to the Air Force's interest in developing next-generation technologies, including private sector and Universities long-term in this development, as also addressed in the first report on this subject here at ECC: "DETER" on Industry Day: Directed Energy Technology Experimentation Research (DETER) Advanced Research Announced on October 19, 2023: The Techno Arc from Targeting Tech to 5G/Smart City/HAARP Tech in Visions of Large-Scale Human & Earth Control (For Humanity to DETER)
Calls partially suggest protected or covered experimentation judging from the requirements stated in the latest Solicitation mentioning need for Science and Technology Program Protection and need to examine the research and related pursuits of key senior personnel as well as information security practices proposed on each call. Science and Technology Program Protection, a key aspect of Defense research and engineering, seeks to protect technological advantage in the interests of national security while including commercial and trade protections, and cyber, tech and program protections as noted in a recent 2022 Guidebook release published here and in a 2023 DOD online training course posted here.
USC regulations on "Procurement for Experimental Purposes" are cited in the list of authorities being referenced for intended Air Force contracts succeeding calls:
10 USC 4023 offers concerning information needing further review:
DETER and Tactical Overview Presentations newly posted online reveal that research institutions and Universities are engaged in proposing and developing next-generation directed energy technologies for stated "public purposes" in a variety of areas including Biosafety, Bioeffects, and what appears to be Public Safety as well.
DETER projects sought included both large-scale laser and HPEM sources, tracking systems, weapons systems, as well as modeling and simulation and wargaming in other areas involving targets and biological effects. Experiments, testing, and demonstrations occupied a separate topic area on the DETER list, suggesting that such would be a separate category of contracts. TACTICAL projects sought included both the larger DE weapon systems, satellites, and AI-inclusive systems as well as non lethal HPEM weapon systems.

This is a developing story and a subject to keep in view and actively question. Are universities and research institutions going to continue developing directed energy technologies aimed at people and animals in living experiments and demonstrations? Is all of this just being incessantly rolled into Public Safety, Public Health and other "public purpose" while in fact engaging in public repression? We are at the cusp of change on this front and humanity needs to step up to address questions of human rights, civil rights, and living being rights here in face of harmful energy technologies which bio and neuro hack all living systems.
