FIFTH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM
TECHNOLOGY AND THE MINE PROBLEM
U.S. NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL, MONTEREY, CA 93943
APRIL 22-25, 2002
Theme: Emerging Technologies
Scope: Naval Mine Warfare, Land Countermine, Humanitarian Demining and UXO Site Remediation, and Technology of Mine/Ordnance Components.
This FIFTH Symposium will emphasize Emerging Enabling Technologies that could lead to improved or enhanced ways of dealing with the "mine problem", broadly defined. We wish to reach beyond the audience usually associated with military conferences so as to inform researchers and investigators of the perceived needs and opportunities for technology and, in turn, to become informed of relevant work that may be being pursued for reasons other than the mine problem application.
