IDGA Surface Warfare Summit

Delivering a cost-effective Fleet

As tensions rise in the Pacific and Middle East, the U.S. has prioritized sustaining and modernizing its Navy now. The need for a modernized Fleet has never been greater as state, regional and non-state actors have all been developing and acquiring emerging military capabilities to counter global anti-access/area-denial threats.

The DoD is focused on developing these capabilities by striving to control crucial choke points and maintaining global freedom of the seas with its surface warfare assets. It has also determined U.S. naval forces must maintain a balance among all ship classes to ensure it can execute its responsibilities here and abroad.

In keeping with these developments, the Surface Warfare Summit, sponsored by the Institute for Defense and Government Advancement (IDGA), will explore the latest news and advancements in technologies that increase warship self-defense and survivability. It will also take a close look at the process of delivering a cost-effective surface combat fleet that can operate within diverse threat environments.
