``SMART WEAPONS TRAINING COURSE'' The Guidance and Control Information Analysis Center (GACIAC) will conduct a three-day Smart Weapons training course to be held at various government sites. Army, Air Force, and Navy smart weapon systems fielded or under development will be covered. The course will be conducted at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville on 16 thru 18 April 96 (Tue thru Thur); and again on 14 thru 16 May 96 (also Tue thru Thur). The smart weapons course is sponsored by the AMC Smart Weapons Management Office (AMC-SWMO) and the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC), and taught by IIT Research Institute, the GACIAC contractor. This seminar will provide a single source of information on specific U.S. and foreign smart weapons, to include their development status, system description, performance characteristics, and effectiveness. The full gamut of U.S. smart weapon systems will be covered, to include direct fire, indirect fire, aviation-launched and ship-launched missiles, rockets, projectiles, and submunitions. Army systems covered include Dragon, Javelin, TOW, Light LOSAT, WAM, Hellfire, Copperhead, Longbow, SADARM, BAT, and ATACMS. Air Force systems discussed include AMRAAM, Maverick, HAVE NAP, GBUs, JDAM, and SFW. Navy systems covered include HARM, JSOW, SLAM, and Tomahawk. Information will be provided on technology base systems and future concepts to include smart mortar, EFOG-M, Damocles, and LOCAAS powered submunitions. Selected foreign smart systems will be discussed, to include ATGMs, mines, projectiles, rockets, bombs, and missiles. Future requirements and opportunities will be discussed, including digitization, joint operations/requirements, and future smart weapon trends. This course will benefit project managers, materiel developers, service and major command staff officers, systems analysts, and engineers interested in gaining an understanding of critical smart weapons-related systems, subsystems, and technologies. The seminar is classified at the SECRET level (U.S. citizens only.) Similar seminars conducted last year were quickly filled. Attendance at Redstone is limited to 26 students per class. To insure a place in the seminar, please forward your registration fee ($995/government, $1495/industry) and Visit Request as soon as possible.
