- U.S. Army DEVCOM GVSP & PdM VPS Integrated Office Announce a Call For Abstracts Ground Vehicle Survivability & Protection Forum 2023 �Keeping Coalition Forces on the Battlefield� The Ground Vehicle Survivability & Protection Forum will take place February 27 � March 2, 2023, at Shades of Green in Orlando, FL. ABSTRACT SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS The Technical Program Committee invites papers for presentation at the Survivability & Protection Forum, 2023. The Technical Program Committee will extend invitations to present based on a moderated peer review of submitted abstracts. There are no limits regarding the number of abstracts individuals/agencies may submit. �Attendees from the 2018 symposium provided tremendously positive feedback regarding the value of the event. We are very pleased to be able to host this year�s training symposium at Shades of Green in Orlando. Regrettably, COVID-19 had an adverse impact on our plans to gather for the past several years, and we are eager to reengage and resume the stimulating discussions we experienced at previous events. If we learned anything during COVID-19, it is that there is no substitute for the immeasurable value derived from face-to-face interactions. Forums like this will continue to grow in importance as the Army ramps up its pledge to work alongside partners from industry and academia to help shape requirements for new capabilities. Going forward, our goal is to have as many partners as possible helping us investigate, develop, test, and integrate new technologies designed to keep blue on the battlefield and bring our Warfighters home safely.� �-- Josh Peterson, Assistant Associate Director, Ground Vehicle Survivability and Protection, GVSC. Papers must represent work applicable to one of five topic categories: Detection Avoidance/Sensing Hit Avoidance Penetration Avoidance Kill Avoidance/Occupant Protection� Layered Protection Detection Avoidance/Sensing This session is focused on technologies that reduce the likelihood of ground vehicle threat targeting/engagement. Of interest are performance data and technology advancements in the area of survivability sensing and camouflage, concealment, deception, and obscuration (CCDO) of military ground vehicle systems. Examples include sensor protection from various threats (physical, directed energy, etc.), approaches to minimize signatures at the vehicle, sub-system, or component level to include visual, acoustic, and thermal, and new approaches to deception. Hit Avoidance This session is focused on technologies that electronically or physically interdict with threats upon engagement and prior to terminal effect on the vehicle. Of interest are performance data and technology advancements in the areas of soft-kill and hard-kill active protection. Examples include new and novel approaches to the electronic or physical defeat of threats hosted on ground or air systems, lower cost options for components/systems, defeat at extended range, and lessons learned from previous development programs. Penetration Avoidance This session is focused on technologies that prevent threat or threat residual perforation into the interior of ground vehicles at the terminal effect stage of engagement. Of interest are performance data and technology advancements in the areas of advanced hull structure and armor designs including novel joining technology for blast/ballistic protection, lightweight KE appliques for small arms to medium caliber cannon protection with multi-hit capability, modular ERA appliques for advanced CE threat defeat, underbody appliques for dual-mode protection (blast/penetrator mine), high-efficiency ballistic grilles, and novel testing, evaluation, and diagnostic methods. Kill Avoidance/Occupant Protection This session is focused on technologies that mitigate damage to ground vehicles after the terminal effect stage of the engagement to reduce injurious loading to vehicle occupants, to enable resilient operations and mission success. Of interest are performance data and technology advancements in the areas of energy-attenuating interior occupant protection technologies (seats/restraints, protective trim, flooring), spall liner materials, performance, and vehicle integration, fuel tank designs to mitigate fire events (self-sealing, powder panels, etc.), Automatic Fire-Extinguishing Systems, ammunition compartmentalization design approaches and technology, and novel approaches to testing, evaluation, diagnostics for occupant injury. Layered Protection This session is focused on fully integrated complementary combinations of technologies across the defeat spectrum from detection avoidance through kill avoidance.� Of interest are intelligent layering approaches for the current battlefield, layering strategies leveraging robotic vehicles (UAS, UGVs), Single sensor, multi-purpose opportunities, Inter-vehicle domain cooperation (Mobility, Lethality, etc.), novel technologies for better Layering, and leveraging 360 situational awareness to improve layering. Topics are open to layering strategies for individual platforms or groups of platforms in a cooperative system configuration. ABSTRACTS DUE August 5, 2022 Submit an UNCLASSIFIED or CUI Distribution C or Distribution D abstract with a maximum length of two pages. Abstracts should state the paper/presentation objective; outline the problem requiring solution or the method of approach to research; be explicit with respect to the types of data to be included and summarize the conclusions that will be made. Submit all abstracts via email to National Advanced Mobility Consortium (NAMC) at submissions@namconsortium.org or via DoD SAFE in PDF format (https://safe.apps.mil/). Abstracts are evaluated based on the following criteria: Relevance/importance to its respective submission category and the U.S. Army and DoD ground vehicles Originality and importance to the scientific field or technology Sound scientific methodology Clarity and readability Abstracts must be formatted as follows: 12-point Times New Roman font 1-inch margins Title in capital letters one inch from the top of the page Title followed by author(s) and their affiliation(s) Each line in the heading is centered Double space between the heading and beginning of the abstract Single space the abstract Double space between paragraphs Graphical information or imagery is encouraged No more than two pages with a minimum of 500 words Abstracts may be submitted as Distribution A (after approvals through a government OPSEC review) or CUI Distribution C or Distribution D (and sent in an encrypted email or via DoD SAFE in PDF format - https://safe.apps.mil/). Important Dates to Remember: NAMC announces Call for Abstracts � July 12 Abstracts due � August 5 Committee reviews abstracts and makes selections August 5 � September 5 Authors notified and invited to brief/Author�s Kit sent via email September 5 Draft papers due November 1 Committee members provide input to authors November 18 Presentations due December 9 Final papers due December 23 Survivability and Protection Forum February 27 � March 2 INVITATIONS TO PRESENT WILL BE SENT TO SELECTED AUTHORS Members of the Technical Program Committee will send notification via email to the main point of contact listed on abstracts that are chosen to participate.
