NAVARMS-07 to be organised from 19 to 20 Jul 07
An International Seminar and Exhibition on Naval Armament ‘NAVARMS-07′ is being jointly organised by the Integrated Headquarters, MOD (Navy) and Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) from 19 Jul 07 to 20 Jul 07 at Hotel Intercontinental, New Delhi. Hon’ble Raksha Mantri will be the Chief Guest for the event.
The focus of NAVARMS - 07 will primarily be to create awareness about the emerging opportunities for greater participation of Indian and foreign industries in the Indian defence production. The seminar is expected to provide a platform for substantive deliberations towards evolving policies for future selection, sourcing and product support apart from harnessing the potential of public and private partnership for production of Naval Armament. The discussions will also dwell upon evolving maintenance and quality assurance philosophies.
The seminar will comprise five plenary sessions. The first session will focus on advances made in armament technology as well as future trends. The second session is structured to appraise the armament manufacturers of the user’s concerns and to lay down the basic ‘ground rules’ for development of a weapon system.
The third session on ‘Role of Industry - Opportunity and Insight’ aims at marketing the possibilities for a manufacturer, be it a small-scale industry or an MNC for armament production. This will be followed by session on “Infrastructure Requirements of the Users and Industry”. The synergy that could be brought about by pooling of the technical expertise and resources available with the DRDO and private industry, the infrastructure that would need to be built to promote indigenous production as well as product support are some of the issues that will be deliberated upon.
Foreign armament manufacturers from USA, UK, Germany, Italy, Israel and France are also expected to participate in the exhibition and seminar. It is hoped that this maiden attempt would help in bridging the gap between perception of the industry towards armament production and the Navy’s expectations from the Industry.
