Anti-Submarine Warfare 2010 will be the definitive event of the year.

As the proliferation of submarines and associated underwater technologies continues to grow around the world, nations must prioritise anti-submarine warfare as a key element of their future naval strategy.

With approximately 100 submarines on order by a variety of countries across the world, the need to understand the changing underwater battlespace is vital.

Anti Submarine Warfare 2010 aims to bring together a cross section of the underwater community who will be able to divulge their experience on a range of subjects from current research and development projects through manufacturing challenges and the experience of front line commanders at sea.

Benefits of attending

This is a must attend event for anyone concerned about the current capability and skill fade in ASW operations

This conference is where delegates will hear the latest news, innovations and ambitions from the world leaders in ASW. These are countries that wish to build integrated and affordable solutions within their own force structures.
