DSEI Gateway

Facilitating Undersea Defence Collaboration in the Hybrid Age

Gateway | UDT Event

Tuesday 17 November | Time: 09:30 - 15:30 BST

In collaboration with Undersea Defence Technology (UDT), this upcoming event is set to kickstart the discussions ahead of UDT 2027, aimed at strengthening collaboration across the supply chain in support of the hybrid fleet and naval operators.

Delivering the transformation required to embrace autonomy and develop hybrid fleets will require closer collaboration from every facet of undersea defence. Industry, operators, governments, and research institutions must work together to move emerging technologies from concept to capability. With operators at the centre of challenges and current priorities, this event is focused on how broader collaboration can enable their success. 

What this event will cover

  • Discussion on how to accelerate the transition from innovation to deployable capability and integration across existing fleets 
  • Insight into current operational priorities and the capability challenges driving demand for innovative undersea solutions  
  • Exploration of how operators, industry, government and academia can collaborate to accelerate capability development and delivery
  • Opportunities to shape research, development and commercialisation pathways for future technologies
