Defense Research Engineering Community Focused on Strategic Challenges in the Development Process.Business Editors Research Development and Design Expo 2003 MILFORD, Conn. & WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 28, 2003 "Worldwide Research Capabilities Necessary to Remain Competitive in Defense Community" The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (body) American Society of Mechanical Engineers - (ASME) A group involved in CAD standardisation. (ASME ASME - American Society of Mechanical Engineers International), one of the world's leading professional societies with membership over 120,000 strong worldwide, and Unicomm, LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol. LLC - Logical Link Control , an innovative trade show and conference organizer, have co-located Defense Research and Engineering Conference and Expo (DREX) with the existing Research Development and Design Expo (RD&D Expo) and ASME's International Mechanical Engineering Congress taking place November 17-20, 2003 at the Marriott Wardman Park in Washington DC. ASME's International Congress, RD&D and DREX being held together in one place at one time forming the leading forum for the interplay of commercial and defense technology. Thousands of the worlds leading engineers and technologists will come together to further technology transfer and duel use technologies. No other event has ever had this exciting potential to accelerate discovery and foster new partnerships. The Defense Research and Engineering Conference and Expo (DREX) is focused entirely on the engineering of defense systems and researching of advanced technologies for defense and homeland security Noun 1. Homeland Security - the federal department that administers all matters relating to homeland security Department of Homeland Security executive department - a federal department in the executive branch of the government of the United States , from both traditional and nontraditional suppliers. DREX will provide a forum for defense and homeland security program managers, industry designers and project leaders, emerging commercial suppliers, military personnel and academics to interact and analyze the future of defense system needs and research, benchmark the brightest engineering processes and identify the latest in components, technologies and systems. A unique Conference Program explores this landscape with leading speakers such as: - Gary Payton

- Dr. Dale Klein, asst. secretary of Defense for Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Defense Programs; - Jim Sturges, director, Engineering Programs, Lockheed Martin For the former company, see . Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) is a leading multinational aerospace manufacturer and advanced technology company formed in 1995 by the merger of Lockheed Corporation with Martin Marietta. Corporation,; - Dr. Ashton Carter Ashton B. Carter is a United States national security professional. He is Co-Director (with former Secretary of Defense William J. Perry) of the Preventive Defense Project, a research collaboration of Harvard and Stanford Universities. , senior partner, Global Technology Partners - Admiral Edmund Giambastiani Edmund P. Giambastiani, Jr. (born May 4, 1948) was an Admiral in the United States Navy. He served as the seventh Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 2005 until his retirement from service in 2007. Military career Giambastiani was born in Canastota, New York. , Jr. USN, commander US Joint Forces Command - Major General William Usher, USAF (ret.) "The conference program is an educational and business development experience not to be missed" states Dr. Michael J. Lippitz, a leading defense and technology industry consultant who is working behind the scenes to develop the conference program with ASME. "DoD's technology needs have never been greater, and DoD has taken great strides in recent years to open its market to commercial and other nontraditional technology suppliers. This program and expo is the first to bring together outreach on government technology needs at their critical point of definition with creative approaches to transformative defense concepts and breakthrough technologies from both commercial and defense firms. The synergy could lead the way to creating new partnerships to win new government business opportunities, facilitating licensing and technology transfer, and improving research ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). , ," continued Lippitz. Additionally, Defense Research & Engineering Conference and Exposition is supported by a large base of exhibiting companies in areas devoted to nano and MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) Tiny mechanical devices that are built onto semiconductor chips and are measured in micrometers. In the research labs since the 1980s, MEMS devices began to materialize as commercial products in the mid-1990s. technology; Engineered Materials, Design Tools, Components and Control Systems. Attendees at DREX and the co-located RD&D Expo will come from the engineering, manufacturing and technology industries including Department of Defense, government and academia. This multi-discipline attendee base will hold decision-making roles with titles including: senior scientists, research managers, project managers, design engineers, senior technical professionals, university faculty, technology officers, intellectual property managers, corporate management, supply chain managers, CFO's and many others.
