WARSHIP TECHNOLOGY
Warship Technology delivers in-depth analysis of advanced naval systems, platforms, and integration strategies shaping modern maritime defence capabilities.
Look out for topics such as combat management systems, radar and sensor integration, propulsion advancements, survivability and stealth technologies, and the growing role of autonomy and artificial intelligence in naval operations.
Gain insight into the technologies underpinning next-generation warships, along with the practicalities of design, integration, and lifecycle support within complex naval environments.
DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND SELECTION OF A SHOCK MITIGATION SEAT FOR AN ALL-WEATHER LIFEBOAT
Human Factors
Extensive sea trials and laboratory testing helped identify optimal shock-mitigating seating for all-weather lifeboats. Analysing more than 2,500 wave impacts across varied crews and operating conditions, researchers validated seat performance, refined designs using military-grade protocols, and demonstrated an efficient evidence-based approach to reducing injury risks in harsh seas today globally.
ANOTHER SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS: FAILURES IN SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
Human Factors
Maritime safety increasingly depends on understanding how technical and non-technical skills shape control-team performance. Drawing on accident analysis and lessons from shipping and aviation, researchers argue that human-factor failures cannot be reduced to operator error alone. Richer evidence, better training, and deeper insight into human-technology interactions are essential for prevention.
