Seaspan Shipyards virtual MPV Industry Day

Seaspan Shipyards virtual MPV Industry Day June 22, 2021, 9:00 am – 10:00 am PDT Seaspan Shipyards is getting ready to construct its fourth class of ship under Canada's National Shipbuilding Strategy (NSS) – 16 Multi-Purpose Vessels (MPVs) for the Canadian Coast Guard. Our suppliers are critical to our success: No one builds ships alone. As Canada's shipbuilding partner for renewing the non-combat fleet, we partner closely with marine industry suppliers across Canada and around the world. Our suppliers were instrumental in helping us deliver the first ship and first complete class of ships under the NSS, and their critical role continues as we build the Joint Support Ships for the Royal Canadian Navy and the Offshore Oceanographic Science Vessel for the Canadian Coast Guard. New ships, new opportunities: As we move through the design phase of the MPV program, which will run over the next two decades, we are looking to engage with suppliers and bring them on board. Join us on June 22 for a virtual MPV Industry Day to learn more about these multi-mission ships, the program, the design and construction timeline and the opportunities for suppliers.

Future Armored Vehicles Protection Systems USA 2021 Conference

We present the second annual Future Armored Vehicles Protection Systems meeting, convening on June 10th -11th 2021 As armed forces continue to prioritise dealing with near-peer adversaries, and with passive protection measures reaching their physical limit, integrating advanced vehicle protection systems, and particularly active protection systems (APS), as a means of improving survivability signatures continues to grow in importance. These systems can intercept ballistic weaponry through kinetic methods (Hard-Kill) or by interfering with warhead guidance and tracking systems (Soft-Kill). As the scope of APS and its potential continues to grow, armed forces around the world increasingly pursue the development and application of an integrated, modular mission system, in which best-of-field components can be introduced and selected to meet specific requirements. As the only conference of its kind, Future Armored Vehicles Protection Systems USA, will provide unique briefings on the development and integration of Active Protection Systems, as well as the wider vehicle protection suites employed by armed forces around the world. These briefings will include insight into Modular Systems and architecture, Hard-Kill and Soft-Kill technology, layered approaches to survivability and battle proven systems. Benefits of Attending Discuss a diverse range of topics including hard and soft kill technology, creating a modular and sophisticated open system architecture, platform specific considerations, and more Understand the progress made, and the lessons learned from integrating cutting edge Active Protection Systems from senior officials from both host nation and international speakers, and the unique requirements specific to different platforms As the importance of an open market-place and room for competition is stressed, hear from industry leaders testing, developing, and applying the cutting edge technology that will be used by armoured brigades for years to come An unrivalled opportunity to meet and network with the military and industry decision makers in Vehicle Protection Systems, the experts who will define the future of the technology, and the end-user's who will be tasked with operating this technology https://www.asdevents.com/event.asp?id=22105

Cet événement inédit aura pour thématique : FAÇONNER L'AVENIR D'UNE CHAÎNE D'APPROVISIONNEMENT PLUS DURABLE. Le Sommet Chaîne mondiale d'approvisionnement est un événement regroupant l'ensemble des acteurs de l'aérospatiale mondiale et leurs fournisseurs et il a pour objectif de stimuler les échanges sur les meilleures pratiques du moment en matière d'approvisionnement et de faciliter les collaborations entre les acteurs de l'industrie. Il s'agit du plus grand rassemblement de décideurs du secteur aérospatial au Canada dans le domaine de l'approvisionnement où sont présentés les enjeux d'avenir et les opportunités d'affaires potentielles qui s'y rattachent. Après 15 années de forte croissance et de développement, notre secteur opère aujourd'hui un virage numérique où l'innovation, l'environnement et les startups jouent un rôle clé pour dégager de nouvelles opportunités de croissance et améliorer l'efficacité. De plus, il doit répondre aux nouveaux enjeux reliés à la cyber-sécurité et à la réduction de son empreinte carbone. Les acteurs de la chaîne d'approvisionnement seront appelés à renouveler leurs façons de faire pour offrir à leurs clients un produit plus vert et plus intelligent afin de demeurer compétitifs. Aéro Montréal dédie l'édition 2021 du Sommet à ce virage qui va durablement changer la dynamique de notre industrie et l'écosystème qui la soutient. 2021, une édition unique en son genre ! Pour s'adapter à une nouvelle réalité et proposer un événement sécuritaire, adapté aux besoins du marché, le Sommet se réinvente en proposant une formule en deux temps.

Les collaborations internationales seront à l'honneur et les discussions cibleront l'exploration de nouvelles perspectives pour l'avenir. Des tables rondes réunissant les grands décideurs du Canada et de l'Europe permettront notamment de discuter des défis communs et les opportunités à l'échelle mondiale. En octobre, à l'occasion d'une journée complète, les participants se retrouveront pour un événement 100% virtuel (les billets virtuels pourraient être convertis en billets présentiels moyennant une charge additionnelle si les consignes publiques nous le permettent) qui précédera Aéromart Montréal, l'une des plus grandes conventions d'affaires organisées dans le secteur aérospatial. Les participants auront alors l'occasion d'échanger sur les solutions adaptées pour créer une chaîne d'approvisionnement durable et se réinventer dans une ère post-COVID. Finalement, la série d'événements 2021 visera aussi particulièrement la résolution des enjeux liés à la relève et la main-d'œuvre. Les métiers numériques seront à l'honneur et nous favoriserons l'attractivité du secteur en offrant une expérience immersive à l'aide de visites virtuelles d'usines. Objectifs de l'événement : Présenter les principales avancées des chaînes d'approvisionnement mondiales en aérospatiale ; Stimuler la croissance du secteur aérospatiale à Montréal gr'ce au partage des enjeux stratégiques et des meilleures pratiques et tactiques reliées à la gestion de la chaîne d'approvisionnement aérospatiale ; Favoriser l'attractivité du secteur aérospatial pour la relève et main-d'œuvre en offrant une expérience immersive aux participants ; Multiplier des occasions d'affaires en matière d'approvisionnement aérospatial ; Renforcer les liens entre les leaders de l'aérospatiale mondiale et l'ensemble de l'industrie aérospatiale de Montréal ; Mobiliser les principaux acteurs du milieu autour de stratégies communes afin de rendre la chaîne d'approvisionnement plus durable ; Favoriser la durabilité de la chaîne d'approvisionnement aérospatiale avec une emphase sur la résilience et la compétitivité locale ; Encourager les partenariats entre les différentes organisations.
