From: John Danis To: CONE-CAL@Blu.Org Subject: *CAL* Draper Laboratory Technology Exposition Date: Tuesday, August 17, 1999 9:32 AM Dear Sir or Madam, The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, located in Cambridge, MA, is an independent not-for-profit laboratory engaged in applied research, engineering development, advanced technical education, and technology transfer. It was founded in the 1930's by Dr. Charles Stark Draper as the Instrumentation Laboratory in the Department of Aeronautics at MIT. In 1973, the Laboratory was renamed the Draper laboratory and became a separate not-for-profit corporation while still retaining educational ties with MIT. The Laboratory's pioneering work in instrumentation has led to the development of highly precise sensors and ultra-reliable system that the world depends on for safe and accurate guidance, control, and navigation. Much of draper's current research involves measurement, analysis, simulation, and control of complex dynamical systems, such as in robotics and autonomous vehicles. I would like to pursue having an announcement of our annual Technology Exposition posted on the web page of CONE's Meeting Reminder List for October, 1999. The annoucement would read as follows: The Charles Stark Draper Labortory, in Cambridge, MA, is pleased to announce Tech Expo 99. Tech Expo will be open to the public on Thursday, October 7, 1999 from 8:00 - 12:00 and from 1:00 - 5:00. It is an annual exhibition of technological innovations being advanced through sponsored work, company-sponsored research, and IR&D. Exhibits will include Advanced Tactical Information networks, Strategic Systems technology, Biomedical Engineering initiatives, Autonomous Vehicles & Systems, Space Systems, and Precision Targeting & Weapons Systems. The Expo is held to provide guests an opportunity to see the latest innovations, meet the engineers and students working on the projects, and learn more about Draper's educational and career opportunities.
