Aircraft Survivability 1999 Challenges for the New Millennium November 16 -- 18, 1999 Naval Postgraduate School Monterey, California Sponsored by: Combat Survivability Division, National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) WHAT WILL BE COVERED? This SECRET/US ONLY symposium focuses on meeting the challenges to aircraft survivability posed by evolving threats and declining defense budgets. The program will begin Tuesday, November 16th, and will consist of five technical sessions: o Meeting the IR/EO Missile Threat What operational lessons have we learned in recent conflicts? How can pilot situational awareness of MANPADS threats be improved? How effective are IRCM techniques? What can be done to reduce the loss of aircraft hit by MANPADS? o Countering RF Missile Threats What are the tradeoffs between ECM and Signature Reduction? Can you simulate DECM? Is "Net Reduction in Lethality (NRL)" the right MOE for EW? How valid are cost effectiveness assessments of LO & ECM? o Reconsidering Non-Conventional Threats How real are these threats? Can pilots detect their presence? What can be done about them? o Integrated Survivability -- - Assessing Survivability Design How to trade Vulnerability and Susceptibility? How to minimize crew casualties? What is the impact of Simulation Based Acquisition? What metrics have meaning for the warfighter? How to define survivability requirements? o Future Platforms How are current and advanced air vehicle programs addressing these challenges? Are innovative techniques being proposed or implemented? Are there special issues regarding maintenance, training, safety, battle damage repair, and affordability? Are operational lessons from recent conflicts affecting future acquisitions? SPECIAL FEATURES Monday, 15 November: Tutorials on selected survivability topics Wednesday, 17 November: An Evening at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Friday, 19 November: Golf Scramble Tournament Why Attend This Symposium? To participate in a forum for exchanging information and advancing ideas that will enhance aircraft combat survivability in the next century. The symposium will examine issues and challenges to air combat survivability that are posed by IR, RF and non-conventional threat systems, and the technological solutions to these challenges being pursued in new aircraft and subsystem designs. The program will present technologies and analysis methodologies that address improvement of aircrew situational awareness in combat, increasing the effectiveness of countermeasures and signature reduction, minimizing the vulnerability of air vehicles hit by conventional or non-conventional threats, countering the MANPADS threat, and maintainability, reparability, cost and overall mission effectiveness issues. http://www.ndia.org/events/brochure/094/094.htm Hotel Information Hyatt Regency Monterey (within walking distance of NPS) Government Rate: 94.00 / 119.00 sgl. / dbl.
