WARSHIP
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES IN NA
9 - 10 JUNE
The continuing development and use of advanced technologies in the design, construction and operation of naval vessels of all types will be necessary in
meeting the increasing demands of governments and navies for lower procurement and operating costs. The use of such advanced technologies will also be
essential in enabling naval vessels to meet the increasing demand to reduce their impact on the environment through improved energy efficiency and the
sustainable use of resources. Warships 2010 will provide the opportunity to both present advanced technologies which have been developed and are now or
will shortly become available to the ship designer, builder and operator of naval vessels, and to update on future developments in such technologies. The
emphasis of the conference will be very much on advanced and future technologies.
