AIAA Biennial National Forum on Weapon System Effectiveness 2012

The 7th AIAA Biennial National Forum on Weapon System Effectiveness is supported by the AIAA Weapon System Effectiveness Technical Committee. The forum will address the themes of major weapons, acquisition reforms, test and evaluation, performance analysis, and future systems. Topics for discussion include the technology, design, development, engineering, and operational considerations important to the successful employment of modern ground, sea, air, and space weapon systems and platforms. A capabilities-based approach requires a tooth-to-tail perspective of the weapon life cycle with a well-defined requirements process that better assures weapon effects will meet the combatant commander’s intent. The forum is directed toward engineers, scientists, technical managers, program managers, and policymakers.
