Neill Griffiths Award
The Griffiths Award is presented to the author(s) of the paper judged to have made the most significant contribution to a shaped charge technology at the International Symposium on Ballistics.
The Award was created in memory of Neill Griffiths who for many years was head of the Explosives Technology Department at the Royal Armament Research and Development Establishment at Fort Halstead in the UK. He pioneered much of the UK shaped charge research and development programmes including the development of the first tandem warhead.
He was a keen supporter of the International Symposium on Ballistics from its inception and was a founding member of the International Ballistics Committee.
