Name of former owner present. The 18th Army Science Conference was held in Orlando, Florida on June 22-25, 1992. This biennial conference was inaugurated in 1957 to provide a forum for the presentation, discussion, and recognition of significant accomplishments by U.S. Army scientists and engineers in their efforts to support the combat soldier of tomorrow. The focal point of the 1992 conference was Army Key Emerging Technologies. That year, for the first time in the history of the Army Science Conference, participants for academia, industry, and private institutions, both from the United States and abroad, were invited to attend. Over 500 scientists, engineers and others attended. This book contains a selection of the technical papers which were presented. An independent panel of experts thoroughly reviewed all of the papers and selected for publication only the most original and innovative among them. This work is organized into the following sections: The New World, BioSciences, Advanced Electronics, Advanced Computing, Advanced Materials Science, and Battlefield Environment. As was stated in Dr. Bannister's conference overview "The eloquent words of Dr. Edward Teller, now 85, help us understand the remarkable events [that have been recently experiences] and give his unique insights into what technologies we need to emphasize in order to maintain our leading edge. Dr. Teller recommends building on the successes of weapons such as the Stinger missile to continue to improve the accuracy of our weapon systems. Secondly he advises us to greatly improve our satellite communications and surveillance capabilities, and related computer technologies, both for military and peacetime purposes. Dr. Keyworth expressed concern that the military was lagging behind industry. He also echoed and expanded upon Dr. Teller's recommendation for developing more precise "smart weapons" and the need to exploit space-based surveillance systems. Dr. Langenberg emphasized the strong ties between academia and the military and recommended the strengthening of this relationship through additional cost-sharing R&D partnerships and technology transfer to private industry. Dr. Teller's contribution is among the last of his prescient inputs to the understanding the potential of national security technology investment opportunities.
