Restricted Access Presentation Content
Presentation of Unclassified Export Controlled Technical Data and/or any data associated with the United States Munitions List (USML) or the Commerce Control List (CCL).

The 2022 Future Force Capabilities Conference & Exhibition will include sessions with open discussion Distribution A content and limited access Distribution D Content. Authors must indicate whether the presentation for which they are submitting an abstract will be one of the following:

  • Distribution A – Approved for Public Release.
  • Distribution D – Department of Defense and U.S. DoD Contractors only (Joint Certification Program).
  • U.S. Citizens Only.

Do not submit an abstract that contains Distribution D, Unclassified Export Controlled Technical Data. If an abstract is accepted for a presentation which will contain Distribution D content, the authors will be given instruction on how to submit that presentation in accordance with NDIA procedures for handling Unclassified Export Controlled Technical Data. The title of any presentation that will contain controlled unclassified information (CUI) must itself be approved for public release.

 

Authors who are DoD Contractors will be required to submit an Employment Verification Letter and a copy of their companies’ DD2345 – Military Critical Technical Data Agreement from for access to or presentation in Distribution D sessions. Government employees/active-duty military will be required to present a valid CAC card when accessing these sessions/content.

 

NOTE: This conference is an unclassified conference. DO NOT submit an abstract for a presentation that is classified.

 

Submission Schedule

Authors should submit abstracts relevant to the abstract categories. Abstracts should be clear and address Armament System technologies, enablers, and integration providing benefits to the community at large.

 

Submission Deadline:       Monday, June 6, 2022
Notification Deadline:      Monday, June 20, 2022
Final Program:                 Monday, August 20, 2022

 

While the division strongly discourages marketing, it is recognized that presentations involving innovation, emerging technologies and new systems may have the appearance of a “sales pitch.” The division encourages the innovation and initiative of companies, commands and individuals who are addressing solutions to capability gaps, advancing the state of the art, addressing weapon system integration providing unique production capabilities or related supporting capabilities. Attention to “lessons learned,” operational capability and evolving impact of industrial base capability are of interest. International participation is welcomed.

It is the responsibility of each author to obtain approval to attend sufficiently far in advance of the conference to allow NDIA to publish an accurate program.

Multiple Submissions
Authors may submit multiple abstracts for presentations. However, the maximum number of presentations allowed for any author is two. This allows for the broadest range of technical presentations.

Tips for Authors
Since numerous abstracts will be submitted, it is important that the abstract clearly outline the summary of the project objectives, results, benefits to the warfighter an US and allies defense capability. Abstracts with direct link to the Armament Conference theme and discuss specific capability benefits have the best chance of being selected. Preference will be given to those abstracts that provide a concise and thorough summary of the project objectives and results. Make your title as concise as possible to facilitate its listing in the conference program. Submissions must be appropriate for an open 20-minute oral presentation which includes 5 minutes for questions and answers. Presentation guidelines will be provided with notices of presentations selected.

It is the author’s responsibility to secure approval for participation and travel prior to submitting an abstract.

Conference Registration

Primary authors of abstracts that are selected for presentation are required to register and pay a reduced conference fee. Fee guidelines and criteria will be provided as soon as possible. Please keep this in mind prior to submitting an abstract.
