Survivability | Tuesday 22 October - Wednesday 23 October 2024
Survivability of materials is paramount in future defence engineering to ensure mission success and personnel safety. By integrating composite materials with high durability, ballistic protection, and specific functionalities, defence systems can withstand threats such as explosions, projectiles, laser energy and electromagnetic weapons. Prioritising material survivability enhances the longevity of defence assets, reduces maintenance requirements, minimises downtime, and enhances the readiness and capability of armed forces.
