NPS is recognized as an excellent convening location that brings subject matter experts (faculty) and operators (students) together to help organizations fully explore options to address critical national security challenges.  This will be a combined workshop with overlap by several attendees.  

The first portion of the workshop will be a FVEY Critical Undersea Infrastructure Protection meeting, led by NUWC-Newport, with attendees from FVEY nations to explore the increasingly important and challenging issue of protecting critical national undersea assets such as cables and pipelines.  

The second portion will be a tri-lat (US, UK, CAN) workshop, led by PMS-485, exploring concepts for the installation of new undersea infrastructure in the Arctic.
