SUBMIT ABSTRACT


The dynamic changes in international geopolitical, military, and economic landscape, together with ready availability of technologies to adversaries, requires that the U.S. and Allies develop armament systems and technology to defeat of the evolving threat spectrum. The Forum objectives include providing presentations on:

  • Technologies for modernization
