Mine Warfare Association

The Mine Warfare Association was formed in 1995 to create an awareness of mine warfare and to assist government, industry, and academia in optimizing their combined contributions to solving the challenges associated with military sea and land mine warfare. MINWARA’s founders believed solutions would be found in emerging technologies and sharing information. MINWARA established a program of conducting symposia to expose people and organizations to these emerging technologies and their application to mines, mining and mine countermeasures. We are a not-for-profit professional organization devoted to education and raising awareness of sea and land mines and the means to counter them. The purpose is to strengthen the national security of the United States and to help attain international security and humanitarian objectives of the United States.
