SMART WEAPONS TRAINING COURSE The Guidance and Control Information Analysis Center (GACIAC) will conduct a three-day Smart Weapons Training Course at Redstone Arsenal, AL on February 11-13, 1997; at Ft. Carson in Colorado Springs, CO on March 18-20, and in the Washington D.C. area on 22-24 April 1997. 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, Stinger, Hellfire, Copperhead, Longbow, SADARM, BAT, and ATACMS. Air Force systems discussed include AMRAAM, Maverick, Raptor, GBUs, JDAM, and SFW. Navy systems covered include Penguin, JSOW, HARM, Harpoon, 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 addressed, 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, 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). Attendance is limited to 35 students, and similar seminars conducted last year were quickly filled. To insure a place in the seminar, please forward your registration ($995/government, $1495 industry) and Visit Request as soon as possible.
