Theme: Status Quo or Industry 4.0/5.0?
Accelerating Change to Deliver Combat Ready Forces
September 17-19, 2024
The American Society of Naval Engineers (ASNE) is excited to
return to the East Coast and the Virginia Beach Convention Center
for the 2024 Fleet Maintenance & Modernization Symposium
(FMMS).
The symposium will take place September 16-19. In addition to the
professional Keynotes, Panels, Technical Paper presentations, and
Innovation Theater discussions, FMMS will have maritime industry
exhibitors in the Virginia Beach Convention Center Exhibit Hall,
with superb government ~ industry networking opportunities!
The Fleet Maintenance & Modernization Symposium also has
partnership events - including the Industry/Navy Discussion Panel
(INDP), the Port Engineers Symposium, and National Shipbuilding
Research Program (NSRP) Panel Meetings.
ASNE's FMMS allows for an open forum of communications and
exchange of technical information on ship maintenance and
modernization between the Maritime Services, U.S. Coast Guard,
U.S. Merchant Marine, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, Military
Sealift Command, industry, academia, deck plate users, think
tanks, Labs, FFRDCs, and [hopefully] you.
This forum seeks to engage everyone who has a stake in building,
repairing, sailing, innovating, updating, training, fighting, and
winning on or from the sea on a U.S. or allied military vessel. We
are stronger when people with different backgrounds, education,
jobs, trades, and experience discuss issues and solutions facing
the fleet.
What are some of the intersections of communications from the
Maritime Services, industry, and academia of this forum?
-
Learn what new technology can do and how best to integrate into
a ship's systems
-
Work with other disciplines and stakeholders to ensure that
engineering considerations are built into all phases and
lifecycle process
-
Share effective repair strategies based on collective data and
deck plate experience to help eliminate the cost and time of
rework
-
Understand what ship designs and systems can be modernized with
durable and proven technology
-
Train others and share historical knowledge that can be
collected for the next generation
-
Leverage partnerships between small and large businesses to
facilitate technology transition to the fleet
The FMMS 2024 agenda includes senior military keynotes, industry
speakers, informative panels, Innovation Theater speakers,
technical paper presentations, and professional development
courses, providing a unique opportunity to interact with senior
military and civil service decision makers, ship and craft
operators and maintainers, repair and maintenance personnel,
designers, builders, planners, engineers, program managers, life
cycle engineers, equipment suppliers and other technical experts.
The American Society of Naval Engineers (ASNE) Fleet Maintenance
& Modernization Symposium is an annual event, alternating
between Hampton Roads and San Diego, bringing together the entire
naval ship maintenance, modernization and ship repair community
for a superb collaborative event.
