Defining a Future Role for the OPV
Offshore Patrol Vessels 2018 will be the most international year in the event's history. With representatives already confirmed from 25 nations, including Canada, Ghana, the USA, Malaysia, Oman, Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador and Portugal, this really is your only opportunity to address the challenges facing the global
OPV community, as they seek to define a future role for this critical maritime security platform.
Split across three days,
OPV 2018 will undertake to answer one question: how can the
OPV sustain its relevance in the future operating environment? At the granular level, the conference agenda will examine the
OPV across its life cycle. Topics will include design modularity, through-life management and modernisation, automation, combat systems, communications systems, unmanned platform integration and multi-mission readiness. The forum looks to identify opportunities for collaborative capability development, and targets an
OPV blueprint which is interoperable - technically and tactically.
We hope you'll join us in London this September as we work to maximise situational awareness, upgrade inherent baseline capability and deliver a continuous patrol function for the
OPV.
Attend Offshore Patrol Vessels for your opportunity to:
- Define a blueprint for future builds which will maximise deployability, survivability and endurance for OPV operations in the complex environment
- Enable future deployed operations by better integrating and leveraging the advanced situational awareness and C2 capabilities of the OPV
- Execute multiple mission sets by integrating modularity and adaptability from the design phase - without compromising on baseline capability
- Approach continuous vessel operation and minimise downtime by implementing predictive approaches to sustainment, maintenance and support
- Network the OPV with unmanned and manned airborne assets to increase the platform's ability to patrol beyond line of sight
