The ASNE Design Sciences Series of workshops and conferences explore emerging design approaches, methods, processes and tools for the successful design of naval engineering projects. This second conference focuses on Modular Adaptable Ships. The global security environment has changed significantly in the past few years with the emergence of potential adversaries with technologies and capabilities that challenge the United States' military str...

Transport Security and Safety Expo (TSSX) in June 2018, the only event of its kind to provide a platform for transport operators across all verticals, government officials and suppliers to address current concerns, share best practice and build long-lasting business connections.

Researchers at NASA Langley Research Center have developed two long endurance Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) UAVs. These new concepts address two major roadblocks for commercial UAV applications: expensive ground support for launch and recovery and limitations on flight time and range. During this free webinar, lead inventor David North will discuss this technology and its potential uses, followed by an open Q&A session.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is the United Nations' specialized agency responsible for the safety and security of shipping, and the prevention of marine pollution by ships. It is the preeminent forum for global maritime safety, security, pollution prevention, human considerations and legal affairs, as well as facilitation of ship to port interface, technical issues and audit schemes. But how did this organization start, and ho...

The Navy League’s Sea-Air-Space Exposition was founded in 1965 as a means to bring the U.S. defense industrial base, private-sector U.S. companies and key military decision makers together for an annual innovative, educational, professional and maritime based event located in the heart of Washington, DC. Sea-Air-Space is now the largest maritime exposition in the U.S. and continues as an invaluable extension of the Navy League’s mi...

The global supply chain provides the opportunity for significant benefits to government, including lower costs, interoperability, rapid innovation, and a variety of product features and options. However, this also enables opportunities for adversaries to affect the management and operations of government agencies, resulting in risks such as counterfeit parts, unauthorized production, tampering, theft, or insertion of malicious software, as wel...

Course Description:Many fleets around the world are trying to increase their fleets while still holding to budgetary constraints. One viable solution is to build classes of smaller platforms, using mostly commercial standards and hardware, to boost fleet numbers. At the forefront of this category is the Offshore Patrol Vessel, or OPV.Like most other ship categories, it is difficult to use absolutes to define the OPV. While its category can be...

The Space and Naval Systems Command’s mission is to deliver interoperable and secure information warfare capability by acquiring and integrating sensors, communications, weapons, information and control systems for existing and future ships, aircraft, submarines, unmanned systems and the associated shore-based support systems. The “As-a-Service” model is changing the delivery of IT modernization by providing an agile acquisit...

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...

The ASNE Design Sciences Series of workshops and conferences will explore emerging design approaches, methods, processes and tools for the successful design of naval engineering projects. This first conference focuses on Set-Based Design (SBD), a design method that has proven useful for projects with a large number of design variables, tight coupling among design variables, conflicting requirements, flexibility in requirements allowing for tra...
