``SMART WEAPONS COURSE'' General Notice: The Guidance and Control Information Analysis Center (GACIAC) will conduct a three-day Smart Weapons Training Course at STRICOM in Orlando, FL on 13 through 15 August 96. Army, Air Force, and Navy smart weapon systems fielded or under development will be covered. The course is sponsored by the AMC Smart Weapons Management Office (AMC-SWMO) and the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC), and taught by the GACIAC contractor, IIT Research Institute. 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, STAFF, WAM, Hellfire, Copperhead, Longbow, SADARM, BAT, and ATACMS.

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 addressed, including digitization, joint operations/requirements, and future smart weapon trends. This course will benefit project managers, material developers, service and major command staff officers, systems analysts, industry marketeers, and engineers interested in gaining an understanding of critical 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 STRICOM in Orlando is limited to 30 students.
