This annual event is the premier international forum for discussions on underwater strategy, capabilities and technologies, setting the scene for the year to come and the future beyond. The underwater environment is going through a resurgence in importance. Whether it is in the North Atlantic, Asia/Pacific region, Middle East or, indeed, globally through littoral seaspace, change and new threats and opportunities abound. The underwater environment is international by definition and increasingly, military and commercial interests cannot be separated; it is progressively contested by competing interests. These changes are being matched by new capabilities. Autonomy and the digital revolution are having as great, and perhaps greater impact in the underwater environment as elsewhere; those who don’t keep up with capability developments will be increasingly marginalised and will gradually cede control. The immediate post-Cold War years when attention shifted from the underwater environment are now very much in the past. When discussing the underwater environment we have traditionally viewed it through the lens of submarines, anti-submarine warfare and mine warfare. These retain their importance but on their own do not cover the span of important issues that need to be addressed. Defence Leaders acknowledges this and has listened to feedback from previous conferences and stakeholders. They have worked hard over the last six months, researching and analysing the current market trends, ongoing programmes and upcoming procurement projects in order to design an agenda to fully engage the broad community of interest and stimulate discussions well beyond the conference. The major development for this year’s conference is the format change from a streamed day on the first day with two plenary days following, to the new format with one plenary day and the six focus areas following across two days. These will include recurring themes from previous years, such as Submarines, ASW and MCM. However, this year will be more rounded and include specific focus on areas such as autonomy, C4ISR, Port Security, Safety, Training and Infrastructure Protection. I am chairing this Conference for the first time; it is about an environment that has been at the heart of my professional career. We expect over 500 attendees from across the stakeholder community, from industry to the military. I am particularly looking forward to the international dimension. Likeminded nations will only prevail to make this environment safe if we not only pool our resources but also our thinking and commitment. This conference offers a unique opportunity to advance this. I look forward to welcoming you to Southampton in March 2020. Sincerely, Vice Admiral (Ret’d) Duncan Potts CB Underwater Defence and Security 2020 Conference Chairman Defence Leaders© Agenda subject to change due to speaker availability Page 3 of 21 UNDERWATER DEFENCE AND SECURITY 2020 3rd – 5th March 2020, Hilton at the Ageas Bowl, Southampton, UK www.DefenceLeaders.com/Underwater-Defence-Security TUESDAY 3rd MARCH PLENARY SESSION: INTERNATIONAL STRATEGY OVERVIEW “Accelerating capabilities ahead of near peer threats” Progressive and unilateral national reductions in investment of underwater assets and capabilities have resulted in serious gaps and skill fade across NATO member’s capabilities. With an increase in the variety and number of underwater threats to lives, infrastructure and the environment, it is clear that controlling the underwater domain is now a resurging priority. Underwater Defence & Security 2020 will provide the underwater community with a unique opportunity to understand rapidly evolving threats as well as future technologies and capabilities; acting as a platform for the international underwater community to analyse developments in emerging and traditional markets. 0800 – Registration 0855 – Chairman’s opening remarks Vice Admiral (Ret’d) Duncan Potts CB, Former Commander UK Maritime Forces, Royal Navy EMERGING CHALLENGES IMPACTING UNDERWATER WARFARE Over the past 40 years, NATO have developed their submarine and aircraft carrier capabilities very significantly to gain major advantages over potential opponents in the maritime environment and project power with relative invulnerability. To counter these advantages, a number of nations have developed anti-access and area denial strategies. This opening conference session will discuss the emerging challenges to the Alliance and how this impacts underwater defence and security. 0900 – Opening Conference Keynote from the Second Sea Lord: The contemporary challenges facing the Royal Navy in

These new technologies will enable MX operators to conduct missions with enhanced image processing and greater visual capabilities than ever before. “Today’s environments are more complex, and missions need to be executed with more assurance,” said Paul Jennison, Senior Vice President of Strategy and Business Development for L3 WESCAM. “L3’s newly incorporated smart technologies provide a portfolio of capabilities that will help operators succeed though a combination of ease-of-use and robust performance.” Newly launched imaging technologies include the addition of higher-sensitivity cameras that offer advanced imaging capabilities across a much wider range of illumination conditions, thereby advancing operator capabilities in low-visibility and no-visibility environments. Advancements to L3’s MX image processing technologies include WESCAM’s embedded Advanced Video Engine (WAVE) and a newly embedded Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). L3 WESCAM’s new Automated Video Tracker (AVT) and embedded Moving Target Indicator (MTI) technologies are supported by this new architecture and provide automatic target acquisition of multiple targets with significantly improved target lock performance in challenging mission scenarios.

  • Navy News Week 5-3
    NAVY NEWS WEEK 5-3 30 January 2018 US Navy ship sails near disputed shoal claimed by China A U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer sailed within 12 miles of Scarborough Shoal, a small uninhabited reef in the South China Sea claimed by China and the Philippines, said a U.S. official. China's Foreign Ministry accused the United States of trespassing through its territorial waters. The USS Hopper carried out an "innocent passage" within 12 miles of Scarborough Shoal on Wednesday evening, said a U.S. official. The guided missile destroyer was shadowed during the operation by a Chinese Navy ship. The U.S. official described the Hopper’s patrol as an "innocent passage" and not a freedom of navigation operation (FONOP) under the strict legal definition, but "the message was the same." Under international law a nation's territorial waters extend 12 miles from its shoreline. Barely above sea level, the chain of reefs and rocks is located 120 miles west of the Philippines and is claimed by China and the Philippines. Since 2012, Chinese government ships have turned away Philippine fishing vessels near the rich fishing grounds surrounding the shoal.In 2016 an international court at The Hague ruled against China’s claim to Scarborough Shoal in a case filed by the Philippines. China's Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the Hopper had sailed within its 12 mile territorial limit "without gaining permission from the Chinese government." "What the U.S. vessel did violated China's sovereignty and security interests, put the safety of Chinese vessels and personnel who were in the relevant waters for official duties under grave threat, and contravened the basic norms for international relations," the statement added.
