Meeting tomorrow’s threats with emerging air munitions capabilities and technologies

Welcome to the Annual event for the Air Weapons Community
 

Air-Launched Weapons, both air-to-air and air-to-ground, remain one of the most vital elements of modern warfare. Defence Forces are asking: how will today's weapons technology measure up to future threats? And at the highest level, with defence budgets tightening across the board, how can tomorrow's systems deliver the same capability for less?

IQPC recommends: "Tactical Missle Design"

Pre-conference master class: Monday 27th October, 2008, 9am-5pm.

Led by Eugene L. Fleeman, this one day master class, presents the key elements of tactical missile conceptual design, including:

• Key drivers in the missile design process;

• Critical tradeoffs, methods and technologies in subsystems, aerodynamic, propulsion and structure sizing;

• Launch platform-missile integration;

• Robustness, lethality, accuracy, observables, survivability, reliability and cost considerations;

• Missile development process.

Air Launched Weapons 2008 will feature updates on leading programmes and requirements including:

• Brigadier General Jerome Huret, Commander, Centre Experiences Aériennes Militaires, French Air Force

• Colonel Brian Buell, Commander, 918th Armament Systems Group, US Air Force

• Squadron Leader Michael Baker, Tactics and Training Future Weapons, Air Warfare Centre, UK MoD
