We are holding the event in association with the Irish Defence Forces, represented by the Flag Officer Commanding Commodore Hugh Tully of the Irish Naval Service and Rear Admiral Mark Mellet, Deputy Chief of Staff, Irish Defence Forces. Our proven annual event, now in its ninth year, provides the opportunity to meet face-to-face with stakeholders from the Middle East, Latin America, Africa, Asia, Europe and North America. Our outreach is what maintains our unmatched credibility within the community and we have continued to source the most up-to date programmes and topics for 2014. Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPVs) are the fastest growing segment of the Naval Vessels Market. At least 22 countries are known to have a total of 120 OPVs on order and 28 countries have plans for another 265 at a total value of over $57 Billion. The total number of OPVs on order has increased by 7% in the last year, while the number planned has also increased – by 40%. Against this backdrop, Defence IQ’s Offshore Patrol Vessels conference gives you unrivalled access to international requirements, plans and policy, procurement and operational military staff that operate within the most dynamic sector of the Naval Vessels Market. The conference will examine issues critical to advancing maritime security such as the importance of information sharing and collaboration, combining information from AIS, airborne and coastal sensors to create rapidly actionable intelligence. It will also assess the role of the modern OPV as the lynchpin in a diverse set of missions that range from fisheries protection to pollution control, from SAR to counter-piracy and from humanitarian operations to patrolling the EEZ. At the event through discussion, debate, case studies and lessons-learnt, the leadership of international navies and coast guards will benefit from a clear understanding of the best path to balancing capability and affordability whether choosing platforms or a piece of technology. You will enhance your understanding of how to deliver optimum mission effectiveness tailored to your own unique needs. I look forward to meeting you in Dublin this September. P.S. Don’t forget to book onto the pre-conference workshops, one of which will examine solutions William James for combatting piracy, while the other will assess which combat and weapons systems are the most International OPVs 2014 Director suitable for your OPVs!

There will be an opportunity to tour the ship and there will be a detailed assessment of the thinking behind her design, the missions she is expected to perform and a thorough analysis of her operational capabilities. 11.30 TRANSFER FROM SIR JOHN ROGERSON’S QUAY TO HOTEL 12.00 NETWORKING LUNCH Sponsored by 13.00 PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP ONE: CHOOSING THE APPROPRIATE COMBAT AND WEAPONS SYSTEMS FOR THE CONTEMPORARY OPV As combat and weapons systems technologies continue to mature, it is possible to include more capability in a smaller hull. This means that it is now possible to develop a highly effective OPV with anti-surface and anti-air warfare capabilities. With the squeeze on defence budgets, and the consequent forced retirement of aging, large and expensive warships, OPVs provide a unique cost-effective solution of maintaining numbers and carrying out simple patrol duties. Indeed, many developing navies around the world now rely on OPVs to provide the core of their maritime defence. With so many combat and weapons systems available on the market, which is the most cost-effective solution which matches your requirements? This workshop will provide attendees with the chance to assess the best combat and weapons systems for their own OPVs. It will assess the benefits and drawbacks of the increasingly used trinomial approach (vessel, boat, and helicopter) and it will evaluate the competing sensors and OPV-oriented CMS systems on offer. It will else examine what weapons the modern OPV needs. In their traditional patrolling role, there has never been a need for substantial combat capabilities – has this changed or should we still of think of OPVs as law enforcement vessels and consequently use weapons which match that role? Do OPVs need main caliber guns or smaller caliber weapons stations? Can non-lethal weapons play a role in assisting the modern OPV in performing its vast array of mission sets? Coordinated by Rear Admiral Massimo Annati (Retd), Chairman of the European Working Group on Non-Lethal Weapons A graduate of the Naval Academy, Rear Admiral Massimo Annati served aboard a number of warships, both of the Italian and US navies (the latter within the Personnel Exchange Program). Whilst on shore-duty, he worked on the staff of the National Armament Director and then in the Navy Procurement Agency. In his last active duty assignment he was the Director of a Joint C4I Agency based in Milan. Since 1999 he has been involved in the field of Non-Lethal Weapons. He currently holds the position of elected Chairman of the European Working Group – Non Lethal Weapons. He is a constant contributor to many defence publications and authored a number of books and studies on defence-related matters.

  • CHRISTMAS MESSAGES Michael D
    CHRISTMAS MESSAGES Michael D. Higgins Uachtarán na hÉireann Simon Coveney TD Minister for Defence Christmas Message CHRISTMAS MESSAGE TO THE DEFENCE FORCES FROM MINISTER OF DEFENCE SIMON COVENEY December 2020 To the men and women of our Defence Forces. Thank you for your service and your dedication in 2020, a year none of us will ever forget. To those serving overseas - your work has never been more valued and I know the sacrifice of being away from your family for months on end is even more acute this year given the fears at home of the virus. I know you have worried about the welfare and health of elderly and vulnerable relatives at home in the same way they usually about you when you’re abroad. I know your partners have carried extra weight this year and I know your children have worried about the virus. I want you to know that the people and government of Ireland are immensely proud of you and grateful to you. To those who have served at home this year - working from home was not really an option for our men and women in uniform, so when the roads were empty and most citizens were staying within 2km of their homes, you were at your post. The Defence Forces have been a constant and professional partner to the HSE in protecting our citizens in this pandemic. No task has been too big or too small and you have served with distinction. I was proud to return as Minister for Defence this year and my pledge to you in the years that I hold this office is to represent you at the cabinet table and to continue to highlight your work to our citizens.

  • Officers of the Irish Defence Forces and Civilian Higher Education Since the 1960S
    Socialisation, Role Theory, and Infrapolitics: Officers of the Irish Defence Forces and Civilian Higher Education since the 1960s Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy Trinity College Dublin November, 2020 Andrew Gerard Gibson Supervisor: Dr John Walsh Title: Socialisation, Role theory, and Infrapolitics: Officers of the Irish Defence Forces and Civilian Higher Education since the 1960s. Author: Andrew Gerard Gibson Abstract: The military profession has a long history, and its institutions of education have been central to the development of military officers. Questions about the higher education of officers became increasingly important in the wake of World War 2 and the changing nature of military authority and the roles that military officers would be expected to fill. In Ireland these changes became manifest in the advent of the decision in 1969 to send Army officers to university in University College Galway. Combining documentary and archival research with data generated through semi-structured interviews with 46 retired and serving officers, it adopts a conceptual frameworK of role theory combined with ideas from James C. Scott in a case study approach to examine the origins and effects of the USAC scheme for the civilian higher education of Irish military officers since 1969. It answers the question of how officers in the Defence Forces interacted with civilian higher education at undergraduate level, and how this influenced their socialisation, professional formation, and the implications of higher education for them as individuals and for their military role. Declaration I declare that this thesis has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other university and it is entirely my own work.
