Agile and Available – Engineering the Royal Navy in the 21ST Century
Speakers: IMechE incoming President Giles Hartill
Rear Admiral JJ Bailey, Director Submarine Support, Royal Navy
This year’s high-profile Defence Lecture is led by the Royal Navy and hosted by the IMechE. The 21st century presents fundamental opportunities: an accelerating technology development agenda, an era of increasing competition and the opportunity to deliver a disruptive approach to how the Royal Navy achieves its outputs on behalf of the nation. In response, the Royal Navy has configured itself within the wider defence environment to embrace experimentation, accelerate acquisition, and deliver unparalleled availability, to ensure it is delivering for today and ready for tomorrow. At the heart of this solution sits its engineers – qualified and experienced, adaptable and professional.
This lecture presents contemporary examples and case studies to explain how, across the end-to-end system, professional engineers contribute to deliver the Royal Navy for the 21st Century.
IMechE, 1 Birdcage Walk, London, SW1H 9JJ. 8 June 2023. Free and open to all. Registration 18:30, Lecture starts 19:00.
