Welcome to Surface Warships 2013
Take the opportunity to speak with systems managers and learn about challenges and solutions to difficult integration issue
Surface Warships will provide the ideal environment for industry and naval professionals to discuss innovative future designs and the need to keep current vessels battle ready through capability upgrades and refits.
Attend Surface Warships 2013 to:

- Examine the need for multirole surface vessels, the potential for modular vessels and clip-on capability and the ways in which navies are succeeding in doing more with less
- Discuss advances in technology that could help to decrease the number of crew required to operate a surface combatant: Will there ever be a totally unmanned vessel?
