Maritime Information Warfare will focus on the growing need for navies to develop their information exploitation capabilities. As navies must now achieve strategic superiority in both conventional and asymmetrical conflict environments, knowledge is the new ‘king of the battlefield’. The utilization of real-time data is key to ensuring mission success - whether it be combatting piracy or a technologically advanced enemy. The confer...

New environmental regulations require ships near major ports around the world to turn off dirty (high-sulfur) bunker fuel engines and switch to clean energy. These regulations have started impacting the operating modes of ships, tugboats, and ferries. Possible options, other than expensive low-sulfur fuel, for clean power on ship or on land, often for short time, include batteries and super-capacitors charged from shore power or using solar po...
