The Australian Centre for the Study of Armed Conflict and Security is holding an Introduction to Naval Operations course as part of its Professional Education series on 29 November at the Australian Defence Force Academy. This one-day course is designed to provide a first introduction to the way in which navies conduct warfare at sea by providing clear and simple explanations of how navies operate in high and low intensity conflicts.

After starting with expositions of the roles and functions of navies and the way in which naval forces are structured, the course will explain the influence of the environment above and below the water on sensors and weapons. It will set out the inherent capabilities and limitations of surface, underwater and airborne platforms and show how they interact. It will cover emergent technologies and show the way in which warfare at sea will change as a result of their influence.

The formal lectures will be followed by an interactive ‘tactical floor’, during which the course will be led through a multi-dimensional maritime operation. This ‘directed war game’ will consolidate the learnings from the earlier presentations by giving a practical insight into the way in which war at sea is conducted, showing both its opportunities and its risks.

The one-day course is designed for Public Servants, academics, journalists and political staffers concerned with defence and security affairs as well as those working in industry. It will provide attendees with no previous experience of naval or maritime affairs with an understanding of the basic concepts of naval operations and of the building blocks of naval capability.
