This document discusses the future of shipbuilding and the driving forces necessitating changes, including: 1. Hard times in the shipbuilding industry and need to remove obstacles and reevaluate challenges. 2. New customer requirements around the environment, automation, and new markets. 3. Evolving industry trends like distributed work, replacing retiring workers, and increased automation. 4. Broad innovation enabled by technology advances and feedback relationships allowing more mature solutions. The future of shipbuilding is predicted to involve infinite computing power, generative designs, virtual reality, digital twins, cyber-physical systems, automation, IoT, and 3D printing transforming engineering design, detail design, and manufacturing over the next 15 years.

3. Why Now?ss
What is Driving us to Change Now for the Future?

4. Drivers Forcing us to Change Now for the Future?
1. Shipbuilding Industry Hard Times
1. Remove old baggage holding us back | Re-evaluate our challenges
2. New Customer Requirements
Environmental Regulations | Autonomous ships | Ship lifecycle | New markets
3. Evolving Industry Trends
Distributed concurrent environment | Replenish Workforce | Automation
4. Innovation on Broad Spectrum
Enabler | Accelerating technology due to feedback relationship | Mature solutions

5. What does the Future (15+ years) Look Like?

6. How will Engineering Design Work in the Future
Client's Requirements/Specifications
• IoT | Big Data | Machine Learning | Artificial Intelligence
• Determine the best requirements for ship to maximize business
Designing the Ship
• Infinite Computing (Cloud) | Generative Designs | Big data | Artificial Intelligence
• More iterations | no simplifications | more creative process
Integrating Customers into the Design Process
• Virtual Reality | Infinite Computing
• Instant feedback | more variations | optimal design

7. How will Detail Design Work in the Future?
Transparent Connections between People & Systems (Like Cyborgs)
• Live – Always On
• Transparent to Users
• New Systems (Artificial Intelligence / Rule Based Guidance / Etc.)
No More Context Switching
• User Initiated Request/Action
• Asynchronous Automatic System Determination
• Synchronous Automatic System Determination
As-Built 3D Models (Finally )
• Context is King
• Realization of Benefit for Manufacturing
• Digital Ship (aka. Digital Twin) Requirement from Buyers

8. How will Manufacturing Work in the Future?
Communication & Verification
Cyber-Physical Systems & Automation of Machines
IoT
Workers Safety & Security
Drones & Autonomous Vehicles
3D Printing
