Maritime (semi-) Autonomous Systems for Mine Countermeasures (MAS MCM)

The Maritime (semi-) Autonomous Systems for Mine Countermeasures (MAS MCM) will deliver a world-class mix of (semi-) autonomous underwater, surface and aerial technologies for maritime mine countermeasures. The project will enable Member States to protect maritime vessels, harbours and off shore installations, and to safeguard freedom of navigation on maritime trading routes.

The development of autonomous vehicles, using cutting-edge technology and an open architecture, adopting a modular set up, will contribute significantly to the EU’s maritime security by helping to counter the threat of sea mines.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The development of underwater autonomous vehicles, using cutting-edge technology and an open architecture, adopting a modular set up, will contribute significantly to the EU’s maritime security by helping to counter the threat of sea mines. Future toolbox will be designed to enhance the MCM capabilities. The use of future toolboxes, equipped with cutting-edge technologies and adopting a modular set-up will permit to remain relevant to counter future and modern mine threat.

OBJECTIVES/PRODUCTS

The Maritime (semi-) Autonomous Systems for Mine Countermeasures (MAS MCM) will deliver a world-class mix of (semi-) autonomous underwater, surface and aerial technologies and capabilities for maritime mine countermeasures for future acquisition with a focus on interoperability between systems.
