TO ATTEND SECRET SESSION YOU MUST ALSO HAVE YOUR VISIT REQUEST /
SECURITY CLEARANCE SENT TO:
The University of Alabama in Huntsville, Research Security Office,
P.O. Box 18365, Huntsville, AL 35804-8365. Or, it may be faxed to
(256) 890-6929. The POC for this workshop is Gary Maddux. The Purpose
of Visit will be the Attendance of the Workshop on Hyperspectral /
Multispectral Sensors Measurements Modeling and Simulation. You must
also provide certification of need-to-know on your visit request if
you are a government contractor. OBJECTIVE:
The objective of this workshop is to review research progress in
hyperspectral / multispectral sensor measurements modeling and
simulation including multispectral target and background scenes,
calibration and validation processes, algorithm development and
performance measures for potential technology insertion in current
tactical and strategic weapon systems, as well as for new systems. A
second objective is to identify research and development gaps in the
technology that must be filled to achieve Army and DoD program
objectives.
ATTENDANCE:
There is NO FEE for attending this workshop. The first two days of
this workshop will be unclassified with some restricted attendance
requirements. The third day of this workshop will be classified
SECRET. Persons planning to attend the third day must have their
security clearance mailed to: The University of Alabama in
Huntsville, Research Security Office, P.O. Box 18365, Huntsville, AL
35804-8365. Or it may be faxed to (256) 890-6929. The POC for this
workshop is Gary Maddux. The Purpose of Visit will be the Attendance
of the Workshop on Hyperspectral / Multispectral Sensors Measurements
Modeling and Simulation.

approved by the Department of Defense. Persons who are not citizens
of the U.S. or represent a foreign entity must make a formal request
to attend the workshop through their embassy sixty days in advance for
approval by the Department of the Army, Deputy Chief of Staff for
Intelligence.
ALL U.S. CITIZENS MUST PROVIDE PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP AT WORKSHOP. THIS
MEANS THAT YOU MUST BRING YOUR PASSPORT, CERTIFIED BIRTH CERTIFICATE,
