The webinar will be presented from 9 to 10 am on Tuesday, October 6, 2020.
Lead by the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Southern Maryland’s Tech Bridge focuses on unmanned aviation, autonomous systems, modeling and simulation, and live/virtual/constructive environments for training and test.
The US Navy designated Southern Maryland for its technological ecosystem, and its infrastructure that provides resources that have historically made the area a strong partner with the Navy, and its local industrial and academic base.
Southern Maryland’s Tech Bridge collaborates across the region with the Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head EOD Technology Division, and with industry and academic organizations including the University of Maryland, Georgia Tech Research Institute, St. Mary’s College, the College of Southern Maryland, and The Patuxent Partnership.

TPP and St. Mary’s College of Maryland Center for the Study of Democracy will co-sponsor the “Rocks & Rules: America and the South China Sea” webinar. Save the date: Wednesday, October 21, 2020, from noon to 1:30 pm.
The host will be Gregory Poling, senior fellow for Southeast Asia and director of the Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative.
The South China Sea is home to the most complex territorial and maritime disputes in the world. And it is one of the most likely place for US-China competition to turn violent. The United States has long-standing interests in this waterway, as does the rest of the international community. Mr. Poling will explore those interests and how Washington, alongside allies and partners, can secure them while avoiding conflict.
More details to be posted soon here.
