29 Jul 2024
The Royal Navy Develop Directorate will host a Maritime Aviation Conference at: Action Stations, 19 College Road, Portsmouth, PO1 3LJ on 29 Jul 2024.
This conference will be an opportunity for the Royal Navy to set out its Maritime Aviation Transformation Strategy (MATX) which describes the Fleet Air Arm's evolution out to 2040 and beyond, then seek industry's view on how it can be best implemented. Representatives from the Royal Navy Develop Directorate will brief on MATX and Strike Net, which is a critical enabler.
The presentations will NOT be a sales pitch, but rather reflect the principles, challenges, and aims of the strategy. The classification for the event, for both the information shared and discussions, will be at OFFICIAL.
Commodore Steve Bolton, Deputy Director Aviation Programmes & Futures, will open the event before Captain David Gillett RN, Head Maritime Aviation & Carrier Strike Capability Planning Group, briefs MATX with follow-on briefs on Strike Net. A networking session will follow, which will take place before a Q&A session, to allow the Royal Navy team to answer clarifications and received feedback on implementation. Light refreshments will be served during the networking session.
There will be no charge for attendance at this event. The venue's maximum capacity is 200; consequently, places will be allocated on a 'first come - first serve' basis, each company will be limited to a maximum of 2 representatives.
