NATO STO-CMRE 2020 Annual Report: Science and Technology Organization, Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation
Abstract
2020 started out to be a promising year of sea trials with NATO Research Vessel (NRV) Alliance already off the coast of Sicily in February. We were participating in the NATO Anti-submarine Warfare Exercise, DYNAMIC MANTA, while also conducting technical demonstrations for NATO Allied Command Transformation (ACT), and following that, conducting the last sea trial for the multi-national Littoral Continuous Active Sonar programme. However, things quickly changed to something unrecognizable. A crew member needed to be removed from NRV Alliance and put in quarantine because of a potential outbreak in his hometown of the new coronavirus that we had only recently heard about on the news. After a trying year, it is with pleasure, I submit this report summarizing the scientific, engineering, and business support activities accomplished in 2020.
