A timely exhibition and conference covering the full range of unclassified naval requirements and including the latest in warship design, ship systems and equipment, naval armament and electronics is to take place in Europe, June 6-8, 1978.

The first of its kind to be organized on such a broad scale, the International Naval Technology Expo—INTEC '78—is to be held in the Ahoy' Exhibition Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and will attract top-ranking naval officers and procurement officials from defense establishments throughout Europe and the maritime nations of the world.

The exhibition will feature advances in naval technology worldwide, in such areas as naval ship design and construction, power and propulsion, communications and navigation, command and control, electronic warfare, electro- optics and naval armament, including antisubmarine and mine warfare, environmental systems and navy-related equipment. Naval aviation will also be featured at INTEC '78. In addition, Rotterdam's harbor, one of the largest in the world, will permit exhibitors to demonstrate a wide range of naval craft.

To complement the exhibits, an extensive technical conference program is being organized, covering warship design and utilization, advances in naval armament, fire control electronics, command and control, training and simulation, etc., and selected topics emphasizing the use of such equipment in naval operations. Specialists who have distinguished themselves in various areas of naval technology are being invited to direct and contribute to the conference program.
