Executive Vice President, National Defense Industrial Association  
10:15 - 10:45 am
Lt Col Brian "Hanzo" Stiles, USAF
Commander, 72d Test and Evaluation Squadron, Whiteman Air Force Base

The focus of the discussion will be on the B-2 and Operational Test of the World’s Premiere Bomber. Covering the current and future modernization efforts for the B-2 as well as future weapons testing.  
11:00– 11:20 am
Mike Connolly
Electronics Engineer, U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command, Aviation and Missile Center

An overview of the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command, Aviation & Missile Center (CCDC AvMC), which is headquartered at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, with emphasis on missile technology initiatives that could benefit from modern fuze and fuze-related capabilities.  
11:35 – 11:55 am
Kevin Cochran
Technical Project Manager, Naval Surface Warfare Center – Indian Head Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division

The brief will provide an overview of the Navy fuzing laboratories and their fuzing-related science & technology efforts. Core design, modeling & simulation, and test & evaluation capabilities will be discussed and current fuze projects and thrust areas as well as a fuze roadmap will be outlined.  
11:55 – 12:10 pm
Networking chat lobbies allow attendees the chance to network and chat with a large group or to break off and have individual conversations.  
12:10 – 12:30 pm
George Jolly
Technical Advisor, Air Force Research Laboratory.  
12:45 – 1:05 pm
Dr. Adriane Moura
Staff Mechanical Engineer 2, Applied Research Associates, Inc.

We present the experimental characterization methods and results for dynamic evaluation of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) shock accelerometers for high-g applications. In this work, we assembled older as well as recent laboratory dynamic shock testing of damped MEMS piezoresistive shock accelerometers from various manufacturers (Endevco, PCB, Kulite, TE Connectivity). The dynamic shock testing was performed using a Hopkinson bar to characterize the forward and reverse linearity, cross-axis sensitivity, and performance over a range of acceleration levels for each accelerometer.  
1:20 – 1:40 pm
Isabelle Delagrange
Ammunition Lead Engineer, CTA International  
1:55 – 2:15 pm
Kevin O'Connor, Jr.
Mechanical Engineer, U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command, Armaments Center, Fuze Division

The presentation will cover the design, testing, and characterization of metal MEMS latching setback sensing mechanisms performed by CCDC-AC fuze engineers over the past two years. The application of this class of switch for setback sensing will be discussed.  
2:15 – 2:45 pm
