The rise in terrorist threats against maritime platforms and the greater emphasis on the littoral environment is causing specific survivability challenges. Ship Survivability 2010, Berlin 12-14 October, is the best opportunity this year to meet with the most relevant and highest level personnel involved in the survivability and protection of modern warships and supporting vessels.
Whether you are involved in hit avoidance and situational awareness or damage control and damage tolerance then the conference programme will have an emphasis for your area of work. This conference will look at how to break the kill chain early involving the effective design, development and signature management of current and future ships as well as efficient training of crews and upgrading of sensors to increase the chances of recoverability of on-board systems and the platform.
