Marport Presenting at Underwater Battlespace Conference
From January 19 – 21, Marport personnel will be attending the 7th Annual Underwater Battlespace conference in London, England. The conference brings together senior military personnel responsible for underwater requirements with leading figures from industry. Presentations will address the key challenges for underwater platforms to ensure naval forces have the critical capabilities for Anti Submarine Warfare (ASW), Mine Counter Measures (MCM) and Autonomous Underwater Vehicles.
Marport will be showcasing its Software Defined Sonar platform as a key enabling technology that can increase connectivity and interoperability between underwater assets in order to move towards a network-centric operating environment. Network-centric warfare (NCW), or net-enabled capability (NEC) as it’s known in Europe, is a central theme to the current naval defence development of western nations. The concept is shaping a new approach to warfare, which emphasises a different way of using tactical information. It is therefore playing an increasingly vital role in underwater operations. The concept is that attack assets can be dispersed, relying on information provided by remote sensors over information nets using advanced subsea sensing and acoustic communication technologies, such as those designed and manufactured by Marport.
