Naval Combat Systems

The only symposium dedicated exclusively to discuss new approaches to modularity, interoperability and new combat systems for all future navies.

The Naval Combat Systems 2016 conference has been designed to enable end-users and industry to further the discussion around modernisation, modularity, interoperability, and the acquisition and integration of new combat systems.

For instance, is it possible to achieve effective modularity for systems integrationwithout compromising on ship design and security standards? Is open architecturethe key to reducing cost and accelerating implementation? Are COTS systems a real option to reduce costs or are they short term solutions that become more costly over the years? Is it better to focus on generic ship design and to integrate systems later or to design your ship with specific systems in mind?

Naval Combat Systems 16 will address the answers to these questions and more, through the perspectives of operators and platform/systems programme managers from international navies. Industry leaders will also showcase their experiences and capability development achievements, through detailed presentations focusing on the delivery of systems and modernisation programmes for Frigates, Corvettes and OPV’s.

The conference will therefore examine the innovative technologies and solutions that are designed to meet operational requirements by generating high-level debate amongst these delegates, around the key issues in the sector.
