ShipTech 2024

ShipTech 2024 is a free conference sponsored by the ONR’s Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) Program. The two-day event targets the domestic shipbuilding industry, its supplier base, U.S. Navy Program Offices and Navy-sponsored shipbuilding research programs. A forum to exchange information on the developments generated by Navy ManTech through its Centers of Excellence — as well as the related initiatives conducted by the National Shipbuilding Research Program, industry and academia — the conference mission is to reduce acquisition and total ownership costs of naval ships, accelerate the delivery of capabilities to the warfighter and enhance the competitiveness of the U.S. shipbuilding industry.

Speakers will address:

• The gaps in technology on the acquisition side
• The role S&T plays in supporting acquisition
• How to accelerate capabilities to the warfighter
• Total ownership cost and its impact on delivering the number of ships to the fleet that the Navy needs

Technical sessions will focus on innovative systems, processes and technologies that improve U.S. ship manufacturing, sustainment and repair processes; reduce total ownership cost and accelerate the delivery of capabilities to the warfighter.
