AbstractThis year our Future Surface Warships conference will provide new perspectives and in-depth analysis such as:
An SMi exclusive on the US Naval Surface Warfare Center perspective on ROI and human system improvements on DDX ships
A case study success story of how the Spanish Navy and NAVANTIA are co-ordinating efforts and innovating globally
An evaluation by three experts on how to best integrate UAVs onto ship platforms
An interactive-workshop in association with dstl and QinetiQ that will explore various traditional and asymmetric threats as they affect naval vessels
It will also highlight greater naval expectations and will create an open forum for industry and military leaders to identify solutions for improving productivity and competitiveness. In conjunction with international experts, a Special Panel Discussion will evaluate and take into consideration how to create an optimal naval fleet of more capable yet flexible ships and how best to meet the demands of current and future missions.
