At the invitation of the Chairman of the Executive Board of the German Maritime Institute Flotilla Admiral Christian Bock and the initiator and host Rheinmetall Electronics GmbH, the first Bremen dialogue<\/em> takes place. The new format creatively promotes communication between maritime organisations, industry and the German Armed Forces with the aim of improving mutual understanding.<\/p>\n

The aim was to discuss fields of action for integrated maritime security with a view to the NATO concept of multi-domain operations. The focus was on the question of what needs to be done to be able to win the battle in the maritime environment today and in the multidimensional future and to guarantee maritime security. More than 150 managers and experts from ministries, the German armed forces, authorities and organisations with security tasks (BOS) as well as from industry, research and associations met to discuss this.<\/p>\n

In an agile workshop format, the participants exchanged views on the networked future in all design areas of multi-domain operations. The views of each dimension were presented in an overarching context from various operational and technological perspectives. For the first time, this agile format established the necessary interdisciplinary dialogue across all dimensions (maritime, land, air, cyber, space).<\/p>\n

The \"Marine 2035+ course\" published by the Inspector of the Navy in 2023 provided a major impetus for the event. Multi-domain operations are a central design principle here. An equally important basis for the new dialogue format was the current challenges of protecting maritime critical infrastructure and the necessary capabilities for interaction between the various state and private stakeholders.<\/p>\n

Rheinmetall is a leading international systems supplier to the defence industry and at the same time a driver of forward-looking technological and industrial innovations in the civilian markets. Rheinmetall offers a wide range of products specially developed for maritime applications that meet the new, constantly evolving challenges of current and future naval warfare and the protection of critical maritime infrastructure. These include sensor and weapon systems as well as unmanned systems and their networking. This is complemented by protection systems and precision munitions, as well as networked simulation solutions for basic and operational training of crews and the testing of new technologies.<\/p>\n

\"\"The German Maritime Institute (DMI) is a registered non-profit organisation based in Wilhelmshaven. It consists of an association of personal and supporting members. These are personalities from politics, science, business and the navy who are interested in maritime issues beyond their specialist tasks and would like to help shape them. The DMI also organises conference series such as the Maritime Colloquium Wilhelmshaven and the Maritime Convention in Berlin. The DMI organises and co-organises other conferences and publishes the specialist journal marine forum<\/i> with the online portal marineforum.online<\/i><\/a> and other scientific publications.<\/p>\n

As an organiser of maritime seminars, conferences and workshops, with which the DMI addresses politicians, the press and the public and informs them about interrelationships, it is a highly competent contact for media and media representatives in its field.<\/p>\n

Former Rear Admiral Karsten Schneider is President of the DMI, and Flotilla Admiral Christian Bock is Chairman of the Board of Directors.<\/p>\n
