What’s New this Year?

Having identified the common set of challenges for naval platforms and fleet operations in Asia, we have secured both regional and international military officials to share their experiences and expertise in capability development, maritime operations and the practical use of OPVs for both Navies and Coast Guards in the region.

This distinguished panel of speakers will address the biggest challenges that Asian militaries are currently facing, including:

Requirements and Capability Building: How do you define the right requirements for your fleet to meet specific needs? How do you achieve the right balance between cost-constraints and operational efficiency?

Creating a Versatile Fleet to Maximise Maritime Operations in Asia Pacific: What are the latest technologies and naval assets utilised to carry out maritime operations such as search and rescue, disaster relief, maritime patrols and more? How can OPVs be designed and utilised to fulfil a multi-purpose role across various maritime operations?

Operational Maritime and OPV Case Studies: Having new naval assets is not enough, what are some of the operational best practices that Navies and Coast Guards around the region are employing to enhance maritime security and conduct efficient maritime operations?
