Reconnaissance & Surveillance Technology 2021 Conference SMi Reports: Senior experts from these two organisations are set to present next month at the virtual Maritime Reconnaissance and Surveillance technology conference.

In recent news, the US Navy and Royal Navy partner in a newly launched London Tech Bridge. Both nations as full partners will serve as a command post for innovation for the two Navies as they work toward interchangeability in everything from technology development to deployment and operation. In a live interview, Cmdr. Albert Arnold, of Office of Naval Research Global (ONR Global), who will serve as the U.S. director, noted "Using ONR Global's deep networks as the perfect foundation, we're very excited to expand the breadth and reach with our Royal Navy partners to deliver capability for defense and beyond." *

With this in mind, SMi Group's 6th annual Maritime Reconnaissance and Surveillance Technology conference, taking place virtually on the 3rd-4th February 2021, will feature exclusive briefings from ONR Global, as well as the Multinational Maritime Security Centre of Excellence on how to achieve comprehensive maritime domain awareness (MDA) through new innovative solutions.
