Each year, the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) holds conferences on various defense-related subjects. One of these conferences is the Armament Small Arms Forum, which for this year of 2015 occurred on June 1-3 in Whippany, New Jersey. Anually, after its conclusion, NDIA releases some or all of the PowerPoint files for the presentations given during the conference, as they did so this weekend for the 2015 ASAF. The presentations are now available online, at this link.

I will be covering select presentations this week and next in greater detail for our readers, but anyone wishing to get a head start can simply follow the link and take a look. Subjects covered in the presentations include new developments such as the One-Way Luminescence (OWL) non-pyrotechnic tracer program, speakers from the JSSAP program, advanced sighting systems, new armor-piercing ammunition from Nammo, and presentations by both Anthony Williams and Jim Schatz.
