The U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center along with the American Defense Preparedness Association is holding a International Cannon Artillery Firepower Symposium and Exhibition at the Seasons Resort and Conference Center at Great Gorge, McAfee, NJ, June 20 and 21 1995. The symposium will examine the future role of artillery which will be dramatically enhanced by its digitization and integration into the information highway. We continue to improve lethality, increase range, fire rates and accuracy. Digitization will now offer quantum improvements to our communications around the battlefield and link the shooter to the target almost instantly. Orders of magnitude enhancements are now possible in the areas of target acquisition and prioritization firepower on targets, accurate damage assessments, and sustainment through state of the art resupply. This symposium will explore the many developments here and abroad which will ensure artillery to be the weapon of the future. In addition to formal briefings, the symposium will give attendees the opportunity to network with representatives from participating countries, other government agencies and contracting representatives. The symposium is unclassified, international and joint service in its scope.
