10TH ANNUAL US ARMY GROUND VEHICLE SURVIVABILITY SYMPOSIUM 10th Annual U.S. Army Ground Vehicle Survivability Symposium, March 29 -- April 1, 1999. Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA. A symposium on Ground Vehicle Survivability will be held March 29 -- April 1, 1999, at the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA, under the auspices and sponsorship of the Research Business Group, U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command Research, Development, and Engineering Center, (TARDEC). The entire conference will be classified up to and including SECRET US ONLY. The Army Ground Vehicle Survivability Symposium has been held annually to provide a forum for the discussion, interchange, and debate of accomplishments, discoveries and issues in all ground vehicle survivability technology areas. The conference is significant because of the recent progress made in critical survivability technologies and in the military utilization of these technologies. The conference will provide a setting for discussion of the implications of this technology on the modern battlefield, their relationship to the Army's Tactics and Doctrines, and the effects these new technologies have on ground combat vehicle designs. The organization will be similar to preceding conferences consisting of contributed, as well as invited, overview papers. In order to provide a balanced exchange of technical information, the minimum topic areas have been selected: Signature Management Technology and Integration into Ground Vehicles; Active and Energetic Armor (Heavy and Lightweight) Development and Integration into Combat and Tactical Vehicles; Active and Passive Vehicle Electro-Optic Countermeasure Technologies; Damage Reduction Technologies Including: NBC/Detection/Protection Systems, Nuclear Survivability to Crew and Overall Systems, & Spall Liners; Fire Extinguishing Systems; Survivability Testing and Test Methodologies; Signature/Countermeasure/Armor Modeling of Current and Future Vehicle Systems; Survivability Optimization Modeling; and Survivability Systems Analyses. Abstracts on all aspects of combat and tactical wheeled vehicle survivability within these topic areas are solicited. For a copy of the Call for Papers, please call 703-520-1820 or Fax 703-522-1885, refer to Event # 954, and request a copy of the Call for Papers.
