Submarine Technology Symposium

Lethality Today and Innovation for Tomorrow

13-15 May 2025  |  Laurel, MD

Submarine Technology Symposium (STS) is a classified (SECRET) three-day conference held at the Kossiakoff Center on the campus of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, MD.

This is a premier opportunity to engage in productive technical exchanges. Industry, government, and academia are invited to submit abstracts for presentation. The on-site format includes selected displays of new technology developments. Speakers generally allow time for Q&A and there are breaks between sessions to foster discussion and networking.

NOTE: STS 2025 will be conducted in its entirety at the SECRET//REL USA, AUS, GBR level. AUS and U.K. personnel (including AUS and U.K. military, government civilians, and industry) will be in attendance for the entirety of STS 2025. Organizations selected to present or provide exhibits will be required to abide by International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and associated established procedures to export controlled data and information. Organizations making presentations or providing exhibits will be authorized by VADM Gaucher, COMSUBFOR, to self-certify under CFR 126.4 (ITAR exemption), or be able to self-certify under CFR 126.7 (AUKUS ITAR exemption). In either case, organizations making presentations or providing exhibits must be registered with Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC). Organizations attending but not presenting nor providing an exhibit are not considered to be exporting under ITAR and thus do not need to self-certify nor be registered with DDTC.
