The ultimate goal of defense scientists and engineers is create a superior 21st Century military that uses lightweight, durable materials at a low cost but does not compromise safety and capability. Next Generation Materials for Defense will delve into the application of these defense materials that are ready to be used in the next 5-10 years.
To stay abreast with current military and defense trends, Next Generation Materials for Defense 2009 has been revamped to provide you the most up to date information on the lightweight and energy efficient military materials that can be used in the short-term rather than the long-term. Our expert speakers will format their sessions around the actual application and technical side to composites, ceramics, corrosive and non corrosive materials, nanotechnology and other military materials that can reduce weight and provide increased effectiveness for the military. Speakers from the Department of Energy and Office of Naval Research will discuss the application of energy efficient materials for the military and their roadmap for commercial introduction.
