The NATO S&T Collaboration Support Office and the Applied Vehicle Technologies Panel (AVT) are pleased to announce the
AVT-393 Research Workshop
on
"Environmental and Thermal Barrier Coatings for Military Aircraft Engines"
to be held in
Ottawa, Canada
15-17 May 2024
In-Person Meeting
The registration deadline is 15 March 2024
The meeting is open to citizens from NATO nations, Australia, Japan and Sweden.
Please be aware that the setups for the event are "in-person only" (hybrid/virtual attendance is not possible).
Theme & expected scientific outcome:
The AVT-393 Team has arranged a Research Workshop (RWS) on Environmental and Thermal Barrier Coatings for Military Aircraft Engines. This RWS seeks to understand the problem around the thermal and environmental barrier coatings (E/TBC) materials and their damage and failures caused by oxidation and hot corrosion. This two-year AVT activity culminates in a workshop to identify the current status of the research into E/TBCs and the current capability gaps. In addition, this activity will help establish NATO ‘best practices’ in E/TBCs processing, qualification and acceptance for combustor and turbine components in military aircraft engines. This proposal will be jointly administrated under the Applied Vehicles Technologies (AVT) Panel by the Power and Propulsion Systems (PPS) and Mechanical Systems, Structures and Materials (MSM) Technical Committees.
The registration deadline is 15 March 2024.

The NATO S&T Collaboration Support Office and the Applied Vehicle Technology (AVT) are pleased to announce the AVT-394 Research Specialists’ Meeting on "Water sampling, monitoring and control/remediation for live-fire military ranges"
to be held in Koblenz, Germany
14-16 October 2024
(In conjunction with 54th AVT PBM, 14-18 Oct 2024)
The Research Specialists’ Meeting is open to citizens from NATO nations, Enhanced Opportunity Partner (EOP) and Partnership for Peace (PfP) Nations.
Theme:
Many NATO countries have documented soil contamination from munition constituents (heavy metals, explosive residues, propellants) migrating to surface water and groundwater in their respective training range areas. It is therefore high priority to understand how contaminants migrate through the environment to minimize any adverse effects, and to avoid potential range closures.
The main objectives of the Research Specialists’ Meeting is to:
exchange information and discuss current practices and research on the topics of water sampling, monitoring and remediation techniques concerning munition’s constituents.
Topics to be covered:
All details about deadlines and abstract submission are provided in the document "AVT-394 CfP" on the right side below the map.
Note: Final date for submission of abstracts is 1st March 2024
The NATO STO Collaboration Support Office and the Applied Vehicle Technology (AVT) Panel will hold a Research Specialists’ Meeting on "Novel Materials and Manufacturing in Military Vehicle Design" (AVT-384), to be held in Koblenz, Germany from 16-18 October 2024.
The meeting will be held in conjunction with the 54th AVT Panel Business Meeting (14-18 Oct 2024) and is open to citizens from NATO Nations and Enhanced Opportunity Partner (EOP) countries.
Theme and objectives:
In recent years the confluence of advances in gradient-based optimization techniques (e.g. density-based methods, L-system techniques, level set approaches, and their derivatives), novel materials (e.g. multiscale materials, metamaterials, smart materials, architected materials, and hierarchical materials), and novel manufacturing methods (e.g. agile and reconfigurable manufacturing processes, additive manufacturing, multimaterial printing, production rate flexibility and non-polymer 3D printing) have provided designers with materials capable of both complex geometries and idyllic smooth gradations across a domain, as well as the ability to fabricate them quickly.
The design community now finds itself in the unique position of being behind in the development of tools and models to take advantage of these opportunities. To that end, efforts across the community are underway to bridge this gap, enabling new opportunities to take advantage of the unique qualities of these new materials and manufacturing techniques.
This meeting aims to investigate the current state-of-the-art of novel materials and manufacturing techniques in military vehicle design and its ability to greatly reduce the time required to implement new materials and processes.
Topics to be covered:
All details about deadlines and abstract submission are provided in the document "AVT-384 CfP" on the right side below the map.
Note: The deadline for abstract submissions is 01 March 2024

Theme:
Τhis RSM will provide an opportunity for technical experts to assess the state of the art in the use of high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of wind tunnel flow and boundaries, including inflow, outflow, walls, and model support hardware.
Meeting objectives:
All details about deadlines and abstract submissions are provided in the document "AVT- 391 CfP" on the right side of this page, below the map.
