2022 International Conference on Defence Technology

I am hugely delighted and excited to be welcoming you to attend and submit papers to the 2022 International Conference on Defence Technology (2022 ICDT). This is the third ICDT and follows on from the very successful 1^st and 2^nd ICDT. The 2022 ICDT is co-chaired by Professor Changgen Feng and myself and supported by the Defence Technology Editorial Office.

The 2022 ICDT provides an opportunity for scientists, engineers, and others to report, share and discuss current research and advances in defence technology and their visions for the future. The symposium allows exposure to the most current state-of-the-art technology in defence science, provides opportunities for interactions with some of the world's leading experts in the field of defence science, and offers the chance to present, exhibit, and share scientific research and development with an international group of professionals.

The 2022 ICDT will be even bigger than the previous two ICDT. New topics have been added which are at the frontiers of defence science and technologies, including hypersonic technology, directed energy, terahertz science, quantum science, and 3D printing of energetic materials.

A key emphasis for the 2022 ICDT is the addition of an International Youth Forum for young scientists to present the results from their research and to network both with each other and international experts.

A wide range of papers is encouraged at the ICDT, from work in progress through to high quality scientific papers. Papers are welcome in the following areas: simulation, energetic materials, explosion & impact, armour & protection, novel manufacturing processes, autonomous technology, composite materials, directed energy, hypersonic technology, photoelectronic information technology, advanced launch technology, autonomous control, ballistics, 3D printing of energetic materials, terahertz science, quantum science, wound ballistics, reactive materials, and other defence technologies.
