LWAG 2026 Conference

Light-Weight Armour for Defence & Security

June 2–4, 2026 | Oscarsborg Fortress, Norway

Santa Cruz, CA – Hadland Imaging will be exhibiting at the LWAG 2026 Conference in Oscarsborg, Norway, June 2nd–4th. Stop by and see the latest in ultra high-speed visible, infrared and DIC (digital image correlation) imaging solutions – Shimadzu HyperVision HPV-X3 ultra high-speed video cameras and Shimadzu universal precision testing machines, Scandiflash Flash X-Ray Systems, Phantom high-speed cameras, Mikrotron Mini2, AMOtronics data acquisition systems, REL LED lighting solutions , Oxford Lasers short-pulsed laser illunination and more gear for you to get the job done right.

LWAG is intended for all sectors (industry, academia, research institutes, etc.) involved in the field of light-weight armour for defence and security applications aiming to improve the design of armour systems against ballistic and/or explosive threats.

LWAG 2026 brings together engineers, researchers and PhD candidates to advance knowledge through testing, theory, and simulations at material and structural scales. LWAG focuses on materials for armour configurations, including ceramics, metals, composites, woven materials, MMCs, CMCs, metallic foams, and other porous materials.

Objectives & Topics

• Protection against ballistic impact and blast for soldiers, vehicles, aircraft and naval platforms 
• New materials for ballistic protection and/or blast attenuation
• Dynamic testing and modeling of materials under ballistic impact and/or blast
• Damage and failure mechanisms under ballistic impact and/or blast

Join us for an engaging and insightful event set against the stunning backdrop of the Oslofjord in Norway.
