FRC International attended HiPer Craft 2012, held on June 26th & 27th at the Half Moone Cruise and Celebration Center in Norfolk Virginia.

The American Society of Naval Engineers (ASNE) organized the High Performance Craft Expo, HiPer Craft 2012 with a focus on suppliers, operators, maintainers and equipment vendors in the high performance boat and combatant craft community. HiPer Craft 2012 attracted a total of 56 exhibitors and over 600 attendees. 

One of ASNE's principal purposes is to provide forums for interaction and exchange of technical information about topics that are of interest to members of the naval and maritime community worldwide. Michael Tangora, USCG Deputy Assistant Commandant for Acquisition, gave a keynote address that summarised recent projects and gave pointers to industry regarding dealing with the Coast Guard. 

HiPer Craft 2012 had excellent support from PEO Ships, the US Coast Guard and from NSWC Carderock Combatant Craft Division. Dr. Julie Stark and Dr. Tim Coats from NSWC Carderock CCD put together strong government / industry panels that were very well received.
