Report on an Overseas Visit to Attend the CDSO (Commonwealth Defence Organization) Conference in the UK and to Visit Defence Establishments in the UK and the USA,
Abstract
The main purpose of the visit described here was to attend the Commonwealth Defense Science Organization Conference that was held in Brighton, UK, from the 13-17 may 1985, and to present a paper at that conference. After the conference, visits were made in England to the Admiralty Marine Technology Establishment (Holton Heath), to the AMTE Dockyard Laboratory at Portsmouth, to the Royal Armament Research and Development Establishment at Fort Halstead, the the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough, and to the Corrosion and Protection Center at the University of Manchester. In the USA, the Naval Surface Weaponse Center at Maryland, the Naval Research Laboratory at Washington, the David Taylor Naval Ship Research and Development Center at Annapolis, and the Army Materials and Mechanics Research Center at Boston were visited. The main purpose of these visits was to establish contacts at the scientific level, examine research programs and facilites related to corrosion research, and to relate these to the research and consulting activities being undertaken by the Corrosion Control Group at MRL. Another purpose was to discuss specific TTCP co-operative programmes with my counterparts in the above establishments. An extended version of the CDSO lecture was presented on several of these visits.
