Future Surface Warships

Naval forces world-wide face a future of enforced adaptation and innovation to accommodate variable geopolitical constraints, whilst maintaining maximum operational capability.

The contemporary strategic context places a premium on surface warships. In an age of long range precision attack systems, their capacity to engage in the three dimensional maritime battlespace has never been greater, as is their ability to be 'network enabled'. In a highly uncertain strategic environment, the ability to use the majority of the world's surface and reach most of the world's population makes maritime forces those of choice for the world's main actors and their allies - and surface warships are key components of such forces. The need to police the oceans against the dual threats of terrorism and piracy also make surface warship programmes a crucial and indispensable part of the future maritime environment.

SAE Media Group's 6th Annual Future Surface Warships Conference will provide international perspectives from senior ‘world-stage’ naval representatives and examine key next-generation surface warship programmes.

Future Surface Warships will consider the innovative and different concepts being developed to address the challenges of providing the warfighter with the capability for effective naval strike support and the practicalities of turning them into reality.

Future Surface Warships will explore future design, propulsion and vulnerability issues. Enabling timely discussion on how technology can be adapted and obstacles overcome in order to develop the next generation of rapidly deployable and survivable platforms.

The questions of warship size and sophistication, quantity versus quality have no clear answers, but Future Surface Warships with its highly informed speakers in key positions, will be of enormous assistance in clearer thinking about what those solutions might be. An exceptional speaker line up includes:

  • Rear Admiral Jonathan Kamerman, Corvette Project Director, South African Navy

    WHAT IS CPD?

    CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development’. It is essentially a philosophy, which maintains that in order to be effective, learning should be organised and structured. The most common definition is:

    ‘A commitment to structured skills and knowledge enhancement for Personal or Professional competence’

    CPD is a common requirement of individual membership with professional bodies and Institutes. Increasingly, employers also expect their staff to undertake regular CPD activities.

    Undertaken over a period of time, CPD ensures that educational qualifications do not become obsolete, and allows for best practice and professional standards to be upheld.

    CPD can be undertaken through a variety of learning activities including instructor led training courses, seminars and conferences, e:learning modules or structured reading.

    CPD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES

    There are approximately 470 institutes in the UK across all industry sectors, with a collective membership of circa 4 million professionals, and they all expect their members to undertake CPD.

    For some institutes undertaking CPD is mandatory e.g. accountancy and law, and linked to a licence to practice, for others it’s obligatory. By ensuring that their members undertake CPD, the professional bodies seek to ensure that professional standards, legislative awareness and ethical practices are maintained.

    CPD Schemes often run over the period of a year and the institutes generally provide online tools for their members to record and reflect on their CPD activities.

    TYPICAL CPD SCHEMES AND RECORDING OF CPD (CPD points and hours)

    Professional bodies and Institutes CPD schemes are either structured as ‘Input’ or ‘Output’ based.

    ‘Input’ based schemes list a precise number of CPD hours that individuals must achieve within a given time period. These schemes can also use different ‘currencies’ such as points, merits, units or credits, where an individual must accumulate the number required. These currencies are usually based on time i.e. 1 CPD point = 1 hour of learning.

    ‘Output’ based schemes are learner centred. They require individuals to set learning goals that align to professional competencies, or personal development objectives. These schemes also list different ways to achieve the learning goals e.g. training courses, seminars or e:learning, which enables an individual to complete their CPD through their preferred mode of learning.

    The majority of Input and Output based schemes actively encourage individuals to seek appropriate CPD activities independently.

    As a formal provider of CPD certified activities, SAE Media Group can provide an indication of the learning benefit gained and the typical completion. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the delegate to evaluate their learning, and record it correctly in line with their professional body’s or employers requirements.

    GLOBAL CPD

    Increasingly, international and emerging markets are ‘professionalising’ their workforces and looking to the UK to benchmark educational standards. The undertaking of CPD is now increasingly expected of any individual employed within today’s global marketplace.
