NDIA - Aircraft Survivability Symposium 2012

*Please note: This event is classified, SECRET/U.S. ONLY.  A security clearance is required.

The theme of this year’s Aircraft Survivability Symposium is “Designing for Survivability Throughout the Life of the Aircraft.” This Symposium will focus on applying the lessons learned from the recent conflicts to address new threats, requirements and fiscal constraints that challenge the Survivability programs of tomorrow’s aircraft.  Topics to be addressed include analysis of current and future threats to aircraft; Survivability in the low, mid, and high battlespace; investments in technology that will improve the Survivability of aircraft; development of improved countermeasures; challenges seen in implementing battle damage repair and chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear Survivability; and the development of new tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) by the Warfighter.

During the three day symposium (separate fee for Tutorial Session), senior government and industry Keynote Speakers will address the effects of recent operations on Aircraft Survivability requirements, and how developing and existing programs are being affected. Government and industry experts will discuss innovations and new products that will enhance aircraft survivability in the future.

The Symposium will also feature a SECRET/U.S. ONLY poster paper venue.  The poster papers will complement the theme of the event and present details on specific project and technology accomplishments.  Poster papers will also provide the opportunity for extended one-on-one discussions in a classified environment outside of the Symposium auditorium.
