                       ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS

                           BALLISTICS SIMULATION II
      a standalone specialist technical conference in conjuction with the

                        1991 Simulation Multiconference
                                April 1-5, 1991
                            New Orleans, Louisiana

            Sponsored by The Society for Computer Simulation [SCS]

	Following its successfull introduction in 1990, Ballistics Simulation II
will feature several sessions dedicated to all aspects of ballistics. Technical
papers, presentations and proposals for tutorials, panels, workshop and other
special formats are solicited in (but not limited to) the following areas:

	Interior Ballistics
		o New Technology Gun Simulation
		o Gun Muffler Simulation
		o Effects of Worn Gun Tubes on Velocity and Pressure
		o Small Caliber Gun Simulation

	Exterior Ballistics
		o Flight Dynamics
		o Thruster effects on fin-stabilized projectiles
		o Effects on aircraft armaments release accuracy of near-miss
		  anit-aircraft weapons

	Terminal Ballistics
		o Armor plate perforation/penetration
		o Hit probabilities on variably-shaped objects
		o Bullet-proof garment perforation/penetration

	Lethality/Survivability
		o Effects of projectile generated spall on vehicle weapons 
		  sub-systems
		o Crew Survivability Analysis
		o Wound Ballistics

	Ballistics personnel, modelers, researchers, developers, and
experimentalists from industry, academia, DOD, DOE, and other government
installations are invited to contribute and participate in this conference.
Send three copies of original previously unpublished papers or abstracts to the
address below by September 1, 1990. Notification of acceptance or rejection
will be made by September 14, 1990. Author kits should be received by accepted
authors by October 1, 1990. Responsibility for all clearances associated with
full papers - which will be published in the conference proceedings - rests
with the author. To allow time for such clearances, the due date for
camera-ready copy is January 2, 1991.

	Submit papers, abstracts, presentations and proposals for tutorials,
panels, workshops and other special formats to:

                               Michael J. Chinni
                        Chair, Ballistics Simulation II
                                     ARDEC
                        Attn: SMCAR-CCS-E, B.350 Annex
                   Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey 07806-5000

	Include full names, affiliations, addresses and phone numbers (office
and home) for each participant. Attach, or copy business cards if available.
Indicate on the page that this is for the 1991 Simulation Multiconference -
Ballistics Simulation II.  Participants are expected to register early, at a
reduced rate and to attend the conference at their own expense.
