Theme of the Symposium:

Innovative IM&EM Solutions for Safer Operations in More Demanding Environments

Co-organisation: IMEMG / NDIA / MSIAC .

New IM & EM technologies are finding increasing application to meet operational requirements in a variety of challenging in-service environments. This Symposium will address innovative IM and EM solutions being developed for deployment through all stages of the life-cycle. The 2019 IM & EM Technology Symposium is a major international forum for exchange and dissemination of information on the latest IM and EM advancements. This is the fifth time this Symposium has come to Europe and the first time it is to be held in Spain. The European location reflects the greater international co-operation and collaboration within the global defence community.

Teamed up under specific sessions, papers / presentations address the following issues (PDF online proceedings available):

• Plenary session

• Systems
• Energetic Materials
