The American Defense Preparedness Association in cooperation with the US Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center, ARDEC, will conduct the Mines, Countermine & Demolitions Symposium October 23-25, 1995 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Tampa, Florida. The symposium theme is ``Mine Warfare 2000 and Beyond''. Mine Warfare increases it's influence in the era of 2000 and beyond. This symposium will look at how mines, countermine and demolitions (MCD) propose integration into the digitized battlefield. Battle labs will discuss the generation of critical 21st century MCD requirements based on simulation, modeling, AWE's and ACTD's. International spokesman present their future requirements and prespectives given the changing ground rules of mine warfare. New countermine and demining equipment concepts emerge as an out growth of widespread concern over the hazardous contamination posed by land mines. The increasing nontraditional use of land mines (lethal/non-lethal) in low tensity conflicts and OOTW will be discussed by the special forces. This one and a half day meeting is technical in nature and comprehensive in scope. It should meet the needs of the technical community and be of particular value to technical marketing personnel, research and development engineers, project engineers, and system designers. This symposium will bring together personnel from industry and government to examine the future conduct of autonomous high tech mine warfare.
