and other U.S. Smart Weapon Concepts. Direct fire, aircraft launched
and indirect fire systems will be discussed. Representative examples of
systems being discussed include TOW, Dragon, Hellfire, AMRAAM,
Copperhead, JAVELIN, LOSAT, STAFF, LONGBOW, MMW/IR Maverick, NLOS,
SADARM, BAT AND WAM. Several of the smart weapon concepts such as
LOCAAS, LONGFOG, TACAWS, SFW, Damocles, and JDAMS will also be briefly
discussed. Limited available information will also be provided on
foreign smart weapon systems such as MERLIN, BONUS, ACES, STRIX and
others. The seminar is for project managers, materiel developers,
systems analysts and engineers interested in gaining an understanding
of critical smart weapons related systems, subsystems, and
technologies. The seminar will be at the SECRET level. Attendees will
require SECRET security clearance (US citizens only). Similar seminars
