About the Conference

The Fourth International Workshop on Enhanced Novel Explosives will once again bring together government and industry personnel who conduct research and development, have an active interest in, or work with, enhanced novel explosives. As in previous years, we encourage participants to submit abstracts and share their knowledge and experience through presentations. This years workshop will focus on the dynamics of enhanced novel explosives and their range of uses such as weaponized thermobarics, enhanced formulations, terrorist use, the instrumentation suites used to gather and analyze data, and the implications these enhanced novel explosives can and will have on industry and the fight against terrorism.

We invite submission of either classified or unclassified abstracts. Instructions for submitting abstracts can be found here. There is no participation fee to attend this conference.
