The annual Naval Future Force Science and Technology EXPO was free to the public for the first time this Tuesday. The convention brought together inventors, engineers and researchers from the public and private sectors to show off cutting edge technology for naval or commercial use. Many of these projects are still in testing but developers hope one day they will be widely used by the Navy.
