DEFENCE, SAFE T Y AND SECURIT Y

RESILIENT SHIP DESIGN COURSEAGAINST UNDER WATER AND ABOVE WATER THREATS

17-20 FEBRUARY 2015 SYDNEY,AUSTRALIATNO has developed a combined programme for their leading courses on resilient design against underwater and above water threats. Four days of in depth and valuable theory will be combined with videos and examples of implementation from industry.

FOR WHOM?The course is aimed at

− Navy personnel − Survivability experts − Designers of naval vessels − Naval ship manufacturing industry − Managers of new naval projects − Project engineers who make specificati-ons of naval equipment and installations

− Engineers who monitor naval building or upgrade projects

− Those responsible for technical procurement

− Classification society

PURPOSE OF THE COURSEThe main purpose of the course is to learn the basics of designing against modern above water and underwater threats in a cost and mass effective way. The course is specifically focused on early design stages in which crucial decisions have to be made within short periods of time. Participants will learn the principles of ship survivability, so that they are able to design themselves, to communicate with specialists or to judge an underwater shock problem or above water threat. The knowledge can also be applied to upgrade ships for new threats.
