The Italian Navy Petty
Officers Club in Rome was the location on the 17th and 18th of April, of an
introductory workshop on the theme of "the warfare in the underwater
domain with the help of marine robotics", which will be subsequently
developed during Seafuture 2018, to be held in La Spezia from the 19th to 23rd
of June.
This is a project shared
between Universities and Research Institutions together with Small and Medium
Enterprises (SMEs) and strategic defence and security industries as well as the
Italian Navy, in cooperation with the General Secretariat of Defence.
The two days of work developed
starting from a general framework analysis regarding the conduct of
anti-submarine and mine countermeasures (ASW / MCM) operations provided by the
Italian Navy General Staff, an innovative and multidisciplinary 'vision' on the
development of the involved specialties and related threats at the level of the
Mare Nostrum and worldwide in the short, medium and long term.
During the second day, the
need to enhance a shared network and a common working method was addressed, in
order to optimize the excellences of the various actors involved, in function
of the strategic importance of the issue.
This process of mutual
exchange will be developed in the coming weeks, to end on the central days of
the Seafuture 2018, when the objectives expressed by the various partners will
be identified, as well as defined the timing to continue with the joint growth
project. This will also benefit from the advanced bilateral meetings between
companies and foreign navies that will take place during the event.
The aim is therefore to
maintain the level of international competitiveness of the defence industries
context at the highest level to constantly support the image and the national
economy, with the hope of being able to join the European Defence Research
Program for the period 2021-2027.
