It is a great pleasure and an honour to extend to you a warm invitation to attend the 2020 International Conference on Defence Technology (2020 ICDT) to be held during 20-24 April, 2020, at International Youth Convention Hotels in Nanjing, China.

The 2020 ICDT follows on from the very successful 2018 ICDT. Over 600 delegates, representing over 20 countries, attended the 2018 ICDT. Countries represented included France, Italy, Poland, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, Sweden, UK, USA and China. There were many extremely interesting and informative presentations covering basic research in the fields of impact physics, railguns, energetic materials, properties of materials, novel manufacturing processes and photoelectronic information systems.

The 2020 ICDT will focus on the following fields:
Session 1: Energetic Materials
Session 2: Explosion & Impact，including Armour & Protection
Session 3: Novel Manufacturing Processes and Management (includes Additive
Manufacturing，3D Printing，Metals with Nanostructures，Casting Technology）
Session 4: Autonomous Technology
Session 5: Application of Composite Materials
Session 6: Directed Energy and Pulsed Power
Session 7: Modelling & Simulation in Defence Science & Technology
Session 8: Photoelectronic Information Technology
Session 9: Other Defence Technologies
