In years gone by did you enjoy TV shows like ‘Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea’ & ‘Stingray’, or at the movies was James Bond’s submarine car or the liquid breathing technology from ‘The Abyss’ more your scene? This week, Steve Hall will talk a look at some of the advanced underwater technologies seen in TV & film over the last 50 years and comment on which ones are realistic technology that we can still aspire to create one day.

In this seminar SUT CEO Steve Hall will give an unclassified overview of a new development in armed marine autonomous systems that is going to cause headaches for defence planners in the West – the Russian ‘Poseidon’ (NATO code name Kanyon), a nuclear-propelled and armed robot of almost unlimited endurance, presumably intended as a near-invulnerable ‘second strike’ nuclear weapon.
Steve will outline what is known so far about the device, how he thinks it will be deployed, some thoughts on how technology might enable opponents to detect and counter the system, and how it is likely to trigger similar developments from other nuclear powers. He’ll finish with an overview of current legislation and how it needs to be updated to take systems such as Poseidon into account.

Steve Hall worked for over a decade in Marine Policy before becoming SUT CEO, in today’s lunchtime training webinar Steve will introduce the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, & how it determines which activities can be carried out within 12 miles, 200 miles, or 350 miles of the coast, and the regime for areas beyond national jurisdiction. He’ll also introduce how countries like the UK are bringing in marine spatial planning laws, and how these impact industries such as offshore renewables, offshore hydrocarbons, seismic survey, deployment of robots and human divers.
Training certificates will be available for anyone who requires one.
