Precision Strike Association 17th Annual Precision Strike Technology Symposium

Defense AT&L, July-August, 2007

The Precision Strike Association will sponsor the 17th Annual Precision Strike Technology Symposium Oct. 23-25, 2007, at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory-Kossiakoff Conference Center in Laurel, Md. The 2007 theme is Required Precision Strike Capabilities and Technologies for the Long War.

Effective precision strike demands a timely and effective kill chain to some of the most important targets, which are, in Dr. Paul Wolfowitz' words, "the ones that move around, staying put for only short periods." This year's event continues to provide a forum for exchanging insights, experiences, and ideas regarding Joint and Coalition Precision Strike Technologies to improve the kill chain. It also uniquely offers participants the opportunity to present to one's peers the latest and cutting-edge research and thinking in areas of strike weapons, desired weapons effects, targeting, and required C4ISR. Surveys from past symposia reflect that updates on current and kill chain technologies, concepts, capabilities, and processes for both near and future planning and operations are exactly what symposium participants desire.
