Background
Forum
Speaker Information
Poster Sessions
The Tri-Service Corrosion Conferences have been
hosted biennially by one of the services since
1967. The purpose of the Conference is to promote
technical interaction among the military services
through a forum wherein the Federal Governments
corrosion technologists and interested defense
contractors have an open exchange of the latest
corrosion issues relevant to military systems.
These conferences provide increased visibility of
DOD corrosion control and prevention efforts and
promote novel and innovative solutions to DOD
corrosion problems.

• The 2003 Tri-Service Conference provides a forum
  for the presentation of technical information and
  ideas derived from current or recently completed
  RD projects, maintenance actions, lessons
  learned and deployment of new technologies. Full
  papers are invited on those topics and on
  platform issues. There will also be opportunities
  for table-top presentations or exhibits. The oral
  sessions will include invited and contributed
  papers. Poster papers are encouraged from student
  participants.
• The suggested topic areas are

Objective
The exchange of information at this conference
encourages cooperative efforts aiding in the
development of integrated corrosion pre-vention
and control technologies. Furthermore, it
provides DOD the benefit of feedback,
assessments, and recommendations from recognized
experts in the corrosion field. The overall goal
of these interactions between DOD, private
industry, academia, and other Government agencies
is to reduce the cost of corrosion and seek out
the most advanced technologies in corrosion
control and prevention. The theme of this
conference is to preserve our defense assets
through readiness and affordable transformation.
