4th Australian JSF Advanced Technology & Innovation Conference
The first two days will be held at Hilton On The Park, Melbourne, in a formal conference format focused on advanced technology relevant to JSF.
The third day, Wednesday 5 May, will be sponsored by the Victorian Department of Innovation, Industry & Regional Development, and will be in the form of Industry Technology Workshops that address specialist industry areas and how best to provide a focus for JSF activities at the national level.
The objective of this conference will be to build on the success of the three earlier conferences and the strong on-going support from Australian industry and R&D organisations.
This year will build on the theme of Advanced technology for a future JSF to extend to From ore in the ground to parts on the aeroplane.
A key objective of the Australian Government in joining the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) Project is to achieve a significant involvement by Australian industry and research organisations throughout the production life of the JSF Program.
To that end, and with the objective of better positioning Australian industry and research organisations to be able to engage in the JSF Follow-On Development and Sustainment programs, the New Air Combat Capability (NACC) Project has been working to identify a national R&D base to support long-term involvement in future JSF development activities.
The Australian JSF Advanced Technology and Innovation Conference is a key part of this initiative.
The conference will encompass national and international perspectives and include advanced technology presentations from Australian industry, universities and other R&D organisations.
The US JSF Project Office, DSTO and major JSF contractors are being invited to submit keynote papers related to their perceived technology requirements for future JSF development.
A special discount registration fee of $250 per person will apply for Early Bird registrations before Thursday 1 April 2010.
After this date, the cost of registration will be $500.
