The conference will focus on two technology themes that are currently enjoying strong investment in both civil and military applications, with large numbers of SMEs in the value chain, but where dual-use priorities are not systematically identified. The themes are:

– Maritime information services, including satellite applications, maritime Internet of Things, cyber security and dual-use data analytics and web services;

– Sensor platforms and autonomy, including marine autonomous systems, energy storage for endurance, sensors and smart sensor networks.
