Defence iQ has announced the launch of their brand new conference, Surface, Air and Seabed Warfare (SASW) which will be taking place at the home of the Royal Navy, Portsmouth, on the 18 – 19 June 2024, where we will explore innovative solutions to transit capability gaps in naval operations. The conference will centre around the augmentation of warships through cutting-edge technology, positioning them as pivotal assets in the ever-evolving multi-domain battlespace. With the rise of potential higher-intensity conflicts and modern challenges such as autonomous systems, hypersonic capabilities, and the protection of critical undersea infrastructure, it is crucial to address these issues proactively.

India's naval capabilities received a substantial boost with the commissioning of INS Jatayu in the Minicoy Islands, a move aimed at strengthening the nation's presence in the Indian Ocean.  This strategic base provides an advantageous position for surveillance and monitoring regional activities, positioned just 50 miles from the Maldives. Simultaneously, the induction of the MH 60R Seahawk helicopter fills a crucial gap in India's Anti-Submarine Warfare capabilities. The forthcoming commissioning ceremony by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh highlights the nation's commitment to a formidable naval fleet. The upcoming commanders’ conference, featuring operations with aircraft carriers, emphasizes the Navy's readiness for high-tempo maritime endeavors. #indiannavy #naval #capabilities #MinicoyIslands #IndianOceanPresence #MH60RSeahawk #submarine #defenceindustry #RajnathSingh #NavalFleet

Introducing the C-Dome| Naval version of the Iron Dome last night it made its first operational interception in the Gulf of Eilat, proving its capability to protect Israel's economic waters from advanced threats. The C-Dome is installed on Sa'ar 6-class corvettes of the Israel Navy and integrated into the national aerial defense array, which includes the "Iron Dome", "David's Sling," "Arrow 2," and "Arrow 3" systems. This real-life interception mission showcased the system's effectiveness, not just in an exercise, but in an actual scenario. #IMDO

I do think it is a frigate because of its size and the scope of its general capabilities. If ships designations were to be governed by political acceptance or wishfulness most ships would be patrol boats or APV:s. The Sw RN is better served by a correct ship type designation than by a politically correct one. Our Navy needs the self esteem that this new ship may bring about after its experience of diminutives in ship sizes as well as numbers.

A fab read, a very real view of d-day from a naval perspective.

Seeking synergy. Today we had the pleasure, together with idD Portugal Defence, of hosting an Industry Day at our HQ in Gorinchem. The event was attended by representatives of the Portuguese authorities, military and industry. Together we explored the synergies that exist between our organisations and considered ways to further integrate the Portuguese defence industry into the global naval value chain. At the present time, such sharing #defence of knowledge of technology is of great strategic importance, not only to Damen, the Portuguese Navy and Portuguese companies, but also to the wider collective defence and economic eco-system. #Damen #knowledgesharing #defence
