The Punic Wars of the 3rd century BC forced Rome to recognise the importance of the sea to geopolitical realities beyond her borders and the consequences to her own fate. Once again, broader geopolitical realities are reinforcing the importance of securing the Mediterranean. This proven annual event brings to Europe perspectives from all corners of the world. Water, rather than separating nations, provides connecting superhighways that bring us ever-closer together. For some this means large shipping vessels bringing commodities through pirated waters, for others a means of transporting narcotics to lucrative European markets. The sea provides a dangerous escape route to a new life away from war, famine, repression and torture, but can also be used to traffick people into the sex trade or forced labour. At OPV 2015 you will meet senior navy and coast guard chiefs from around the world to discuss the challenges of maritime security and policing in our ever-more interconnected, ever-changing world: countering transnational illicit flows including migration, piracy, SAR, fisheries protection and EEZ patrol. If you’re reading this you are probably already aware of the fantastic opportunities and growth in the offshore patrol vessels market – for the past few years it has consistently been the fastest growing segment of the naval vessels market with a broad customer base including navies and coast guards of all sizes all over the world. Defence IQ’s Offshore Patrol Vessels conference will give you unrivalled access and insight into the fleet requirements the world over. Come for updates into the most sophisticated developments in OPV systems, design and architecture – stay a few extra days and visit Rome’s ancient architecture including 12 UNESCO heritage sites from the Pantheon and the Coloseum, to St Peter’s Square and the Spanish steps. Spero che ci vediamo presto a Roma!

  • Pakistan's Nuclear Weapons

    Pakistan's Nuclear Weapons

    Pakistan’s Nuclear Weapons Paul K. Kerr Analyst in Nonproliferation Mary Beth Nikitin Specialist in Nonproliferation August 1, 2016 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL34248 Pakistan’s Nuclear Weapons Summary Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal probably consists of approximately 110-130 nuclear warheads, although it could have more. Islamabad is producing fissile material, adding to related production facilities, and deploying additional nuclear weapons and new types of delivery vehicles. Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal is widely regarded as designed to dissuade India from taking military action against Pakistan, but Islamabad’s expansion of its nuclear arsenal, development of new types of nuclear weapons, and adoption of a doctrine called “full spectrum deterrence” have led some observers to express concern about an increased risk of nuclear conflict between Pakistan and India, which also continues to expand its nuclear arsenal. Pakistan has in recent years taken a number of steps to increase international confidence in the security of its nuclear arsenal. Moreover, Pakistani and U.S. officials argue that, since the 2004 revelations about a procurement network run by former Pakistani nuclear official A.Q. Khan, Islamabad has taken a number of steps to improve its nuclear security and to prevent further proliferation of nuclear-related technologies and materials. A number of important initiatives, such as strengthened export control laws, improved personnel security, and international nuclear security cooperation programs, have improved Pakistan’s nuclear security. However, instability in Pakistan has called the extent and durability of these reforms into question. Some observers fear radical takeover of the Pakistani government or diversion of material or technology by personnel within Pakistan’s nuclear complex.

    Indigenous Capital Warship Build- Ing in Bangladesh: Challenges and Ways Forward

    INDIGENOUS CAPITAL WARSHIP BUILD- ING IN BANGLADESH: CHALLENGES AND WAYS FORWARD Commander M Zillur Rahim Khan, (TAS), afwc, psc, BN “If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immen- sity of the sea.”Antoine de Saint-Exupery Introduction Bangladesh Navy (BN) started her journey as a force with few assets after the in- dependence. Today she has become a considerable force with more than 70 ships and crafts (DNP, NHQ). Ships were acquired from various countries including UK, USA, China, South Korea etc. Such acquisition gave BN the required sea go- ing capability to look after the country’s maritime interest. But BN is still striving to achieve desirable combat capability. The causes of BN’s limitation in combat capability may be attributed to reasons like, foreign dependency, non availability of desired platform, spares, rapid changing technology etc. These limitations may be multiplied if those countries denied to provide capital warship or our sea lines of communication are disrupted during the crisis. As such BN needs to maintain credible force and BN should approach for an indigenous solution. In particular indigenous war shipbuilding will enhance her capability to perform her core duties. \ - S\ !"#$%&!$%'#\ Padma Class in 2013. These 350 tonnes modern vessels were built with the as- sistance of China Ship Building Industry Corporation. KSY is building two large patrol craft for BN at this moment. However, Bangladesh is yet to build capital warship whereas capital warship is the most capable platform at sea.
