2015 GOLDRICK SEMINAR
3 December 2015
The Future Navy: Implications of the Defence White Paper 2015
THE recently announced policy of continuous shipbuilding is a strategic initiative of enormous breadth and implication. One of the mistakes people will make is to think it is merely a strategy of shipbuilding.
Adopting a continuous shipbuilding strategy, the Nation is investing – beyond the Royal Australian Navy – in Australian technological-industrial infrastructure.
Continuous shipbuilding will exert a pervasive influence upon the entire of the Navy organisation, and upon the Nation. Far-sighted and penetrating, the strategy will call upon the Navy to focus more intently on the future, and to be less comfortable with fixed and familiar modes of operation. This policy heralds a coming of age for the Navy, and for the Nation.
The 2015 seminar, on 3 December, will include speakers from Defence, Academia and Industry. The event, sponsored by QinetiQ, will consist of Navy and Academic discussion on the Defence White Paper in the morning session followed by a light lunch, with the afternoon session comprising discussion of the US experience and the Naval Capability and Industry perspectives. There will be interactive panel discussions at the conclusion of each session.
Professionals interested in strategy, policy and in the future of naval procurement and materiel systems should attend.
