Summary	The International Mine Warfare Technology Symposium series is the only Navy-sponsored event solely focused on naval mine warfare and associated technologies and is only held every other year. As in previous symposia, the FOURTEENTH Symposium will offer two to three days of unclassified plenary and technical sessions with foreign participation expected and welcomed. Naval and Industry speakers will address a broad range of topics including the current status and future requirements of mine warfare technology. Break-out sessions will showcase scientific and emerging technologies applicable to the undersea environment and specialized sessions focused on mine warfare systems and operations, advanced undersea warfare systems, mine warfare applications in Maritime Homeland Defense, environmental research and developments, operational data flow and communications, and other related areas. Many of the topics covered above will likely exploit unmanned systems to aid in meeting particular technical requirements. This symposium will be collaboratively hosted by the Consortium for Research and Unmanned Systems Education and Research (CRUSER). CRUSER is chartered by the Undersecretary of the Navy, hence some breakout sessions will directly relate to unmanned systems, such as propulsion, autonomy, experimentation, guidance and control, and energy.
