The University of Plymouth's expertise in maritime cyber security and digital twinning will be critical to an international initiative designed to protect and secure the world's sub-sea infrastructure.
Researchers from the University are part of the multinational MANGROVE consortium, led by Saab and selected by NATO to lead its Allied Underwater Battlespace Mission Network project (AUWB-MN).
The project formally commenced in September, and over the coming year its partners will establish ways to deliver underwater interoperability between the militaries of allied nations.
The consortium is being led by Saab Kockums, a division of the Swedish engineering company responsible for designing and manufacturing military submarines and surface ships, and also includes CETENA, FlySight, GraalTech, IDS, Miraya, Saab UK and BlueBear, and S2IX.
It will harness innovations developed by the University in its
