PARARI 2011, an international explosive ordnance symposium hosted jointly by the Australian Department of Defence Directorate of Ordnance Safety, and Thales, will be held at the Sofitel Hotel Brisbane, Queensland from 8 - 10 November 2011.
This symposium will be the 10th in the PARARI series. It will be an important forum for disseminating new explosives knowledge and information. It is the only major symposium of its type held regularly in the southern hemisphere and attracts delegates from around the globe. PARARI papers will cover a broad range of explosives, munitions and weapons topics.
The theme of this year's symposium is "Munitions Safety and Emerging Systems".
Over the next 20 years, we will see the introduction of revolutionary manned and unmanned ground, sea and air platform. These increasingly sophisticated platforms will have a host of different propulsion, power generation and electrical storage systems which will give them exceptional manoeuvrability, endurance, protection and C4ISTAREW capabilities.
What will be the impact of these technologies on munitions safety throughout the life cycle?
The Parari 2011 Call for Papers has been released. Abstracts should be submitted by 29 April 2011.
