    • Advancements in composite structure design/materials
    • Advancements in manufacturing of small craft
    • Validation of hydrodynamic studies with computational tools
    • Small craft dynamics & maneuvering
    • Developments in appendage design and analysis
    • New approaches to small craft stability rules
    • Challenges/gaps in current rule sets and regulatory requirements and potential solutions
    • Hybrid & Electric power for small craft
    • Novel small craft design elements
    • Testing/case studies and data artifacts
    Platform design for autonomy Presentations are being solicited with abstracts due by March 15.

    I attended several of the previous symposiums and found the presentations to be interesting and informative. The audience is naval architects, engineers and similar.

    I did presentations at 2010, 2012, 2014 events and my co-author presented our joint paper in 2016. Worth going.
    Unfortunately not for me this time ;)
