2019 Aircraft Survivability Symposium

Description

The 2019 Aircraft Survivability Symposium is both a DoD and Navy co-sponsored event. The sponsorship approval letter can be found here. 

The 2019 Aircraft Survivability Symposium is a SECRET//NOFORN event; attendees must hold at least a Secret clearance and be U.S. citizens. Please review the security clearance and gate access information page and submit your clearance information via JPAS according to the instructions. Non-CAC cardholders will also need to submit gate access information.

The goal of this three-day, classified symposium is to foster technical dialogue and exchange of information on aircraft survivability topics such as design, operational experience, threats current and future, reliability and maintenance, and testing of aircraft survivability technologies. Using the Naval Postgraduate School as our venue and co-sponsor provides attendees a unique experience at this symposium that offers a forum for learning through its presentation of relevant tutorials and presentations by senior keynotes from government and industry, the armed services, industry and academia on survivability related subjects on the first day of the symposium.

These presenters will discuss survivability technologies, survivability sustainment and operations, threats and counter measures. This symposium will also include warfighter information on survivability effectiveness in todays fight, which will inform solutions for tomorrow’s challenges.

The symposium will begin on Tuesday, November 5, 2019 and run through Thursday, November 7, 2019. The first day will offer survivability tutorials covering a wide range of topics. The second day will kick off with symposium presentations and an opening keynote address from a government leader, followed by presentation sessions on key topic areas. The third day will begin with an industry leader keynote address, followed by technical sessions on survivability-related subjects. During both days of presentations, the symposium will have a technical poster papers area where additional content can be viewed and discussed outside of the formal session presentations. The event will feature displays and extended breaks, and is specifically structured to facilitate relaxed dialogue and continuous networking opportunities among attendees. Finally, NDIA’s Combat Survivability Division (CSD) will recognize individual technical and leadership achievements in a formal awards ceremony during lunch on the third day.  

*Please note: This event is closed to the press as it is classified SECRET//NOFORN.

The NDIA has a policy of strict compliance with federal and state antitrust laws. The antitrust laws prohibit competitors from engaging in actions that could result in an unreasonable restraint of trade. Consequently, NDIA members must avoid discussing certain topics when they are together – both at formal association membership, board, committee, and other meetings and in informal contacts with other industry members: prices, fees, rates, profit margins, or other terms or conditions of sale (including allowances, credit terms, and warranties); allocation of markets or customers or division of territories; or refusals to deal with or boycotts of suppliers, customers or other third parties, or topics that may lead participants not to deal with a particular supplier, customer or third party.
