The Seventh International Symposium on Technology and the Mine Problem is scheduled for 2-4 May 2006 at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. The theme of this year's Symposium has been expanded to include IMPROVISED EXPLOSIVE DEVICES and PORT SECURITY. Approximately 75 papers have been submitted for presentation from government, industry, and academia, with many from international presenters.
Several very senior government representatives will speak on the operational requirements, technical challenges, and urgent needs for near term solutions and major system applications across this broad range of topics. The plenary speaker list will be augmented by selected paper presentations of high technical merit and breadth of application.
A "NO HOST" registration will be held the evening of 1 May at the Casa Munras Hotel, and the Mine Warfare Association will host a Symposium Reception at the Monterey Maritime Museum on Tuesday 2 May.
A bus shuttle will be available from the Casa Munras Hotel and Hyatt hotels each morning and evening as there is no parking at the Naval Postgraduate School. Please ensure that you register with your full name as it appears on your identification, as badges and identification will be compared upon entry to Naval Postgraduate School.
Friday morning 5 May, there will be a tour of the Fort Ord site UXO remediation effort led by Professor Xavier Maruyama for a limited number of participants. ($25 sign up fee)
Parallel technical sessions will include:
Industry Panel I/II
Sea Environment
Port Security I/II
Chemical Sensors
Directed Energy and Nuclear Sensors
IED I/11
Sensor Fusion
UXO Site Remediation
Autonomous Vehicles
Biologically-based Sensors/Biologically-based Robots

Exhibitors are invited to purchase tabletop display space at the Maritime Museum Reception on Tuesday, May 2. The cost is $1000. This is an excellent opportunity to interact with the conference attendees in a relaxed atmosphere.
