2020 Joint Armaments and Robotics Conference

The National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) welcomes your abstract submission for technical presentations and posters at the 2020 Joint Armaments and Robotics Conference at the Columbus Convention & Trade Center, in Columbus, GA.

The Armaments Division and Robotics Division are conducting two separate call for abstracts. Please find specific requirements below.

Deadline for submissions: January 18, 2020

Armaments - Abstract Requirements

Abstracts must be unclassified and cleared for public release. Do not submit an abstract that contains Distribution D, unclassified export-controlled data.

Abstracts should fall into one of the following conference tracks: Small Arms, Guns Ammunition, Rockets and Missiles, or Unconventional and Emerging Armaments Systems.

Posters submissions should outline details of the proposed poster concerning ongoing or completed work. Poster presentations are an effective approach to exchange program and technology information.
