• Position: NDIA Committees & Divisions - National Defense Industrial Association - National organization overview - Brief article

The mission of the Ballistics Division is to promote the exchange of technical information regarding interior, transitional, exterior, and terminal ballistics as well as warhead performance. Emphasis is on both research results and the application of theories and concepts to the design, development and evaluation of weapon systems and their performance against materiel such as armor and other potential targets. First-principles physics-based models to support research activities as well as practical engineering models are of interest.

The division's executive board, whose membership includes U.S. ballisticians, organizes and conducts the widely attended, U.S.-based, unclassified, International Symposia on Ballistics, at three-year intervals. They are assisted in this effort by world-class ballisticians from more than 24 countries, who also...
