24 September - 25 September 2003
Future Surface Warships
This is the Fourth Annual Future Surface Warships conference and will examine the next generation of surface warships in relation to policy, technology and required capability. Future Warships 2003 will specifically look at individual naval requirements, objectives and the programmes implemented to meet the capability required for future operations. This conference should provide delegates with a comprehensive overview of future and current warship programme, country requirements for future operations, structural and design challenges, technology capabilities and future technological requirements to build a next generation of survivable, easily deployable ships.

Technology has driven the size, ability to execute assigned missions, and which platforms are designated to carry the Navy into battle. Decisions have impacted history greatly, and will likely continue to. The cost of state-of-the-art naval weapons systems and platforms has grown. The size of the Navy has shrunk. Parochialism must give way to unemotional logical thinking. The Navy must continue to advance with technology. The cost of not doing so will be far greater

Warships of the future will have electrically powered propulsion systems, auxiliary systems, launchers, sensors, countermeasures, and high power weapons. These, coupled with low self-signatures, will permit detection and engagement of the enemy far outside the envelope for counterattack.

Benefits of Attending:
MEET 30 leading experts of Future Surface Warships from all over the world
IDENTIFY key issues of Future Surface Warships all over the world
HEAR about the UK electric ship’s electric propulsion
ACQUIRE knowledge of the latest achievements within Future Surface Warship programmes
DISCOVER the wide range of country specific Future Warship concepts
GAIN an invaluable insight into early ship design, stealth, electric propulsion and high speed technology of Future Surface Warships

    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.
