Proceedings of the South African Ballistics Organisation Symposium 2023, CSIR ICC, Pretoria, RSA, 9-11 May 2023

Abstract

One of the aims of the South African Ballistic Organisation (SABO) is to organise and host a local ballistic symposium every second year. This year SABO is hosting the 2023 symposium. The SABO 2023 Organising Committee has been overwhelmed by the response to the call for abstracts and would like to thank all the authors for their efforts. We have a full program with participation from multiple organisations working in the field of ballistics including the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Armscor, Rheinmetall Denel Munition (RDM), North West University (NWU), Delta V, Flamengro and Aballistic. The oral papers provide insight into the research, development and innovation activities in areas of ballistics taking place within the country. The organisation continues to encourage a wide range of papers including works in progress and the involvement of the youth to sustain and improve the technical innovation to better the future of our country. We look forward to fruitful debate and engagement with the authors and delegates to stimulate new ideas to enhance the output of the research efforts. For the first time, the symposium will be hosting a poster session.
