The NATO Climate Change and Security Centre of Excellence (CCASCOE), the NATO Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE), the UK Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) and the Dutch Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) held a workshop focused on climate data and analysis, with the objective of exchanging and aligning on definitions for climate change data and analysis research methods in defence. The workshop, held in La Spezia, consisted of plenary and breakout sessions, with interactive elements to encourage participant discussions. Networking sessions were included to exchange research and promote collaborative opportunities. Over two days, the workshop covered the basics of climate data and analysis, including research assumptions, best practices, and common datasets and methods. The workshop also explored how this research applies to defence, such as its relevance to military operations and its impact on military infrastructure and capabilities.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The newly appointed NATO Chief Scientist, Mr. Steen S\u00f8ndergaard, visited the CMRE in La Spezia for the first time. The Chief Scientist met with CMRE\u2019s Director for a high-level exchange. He also engaged directly with programme managers, scientists and engineers, gaining a firsthand understanding of CMRE’s programme of work. He toured CMRE\u2019s facilities, laboratories, and the NRV Alliance.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone visited the CMRE following Admiral Cavo Dragone\u2019s participation to SEAFUTURE2025, where he delivered a keynote speech urging NATO and its partners to rethink traditional defence paradigms in light of emerging threats, particularly in the underwater and maritime domains.<\/p>

A highlight of the visit was a panel discussion on CMRE\u2019s contribution to NATO\u2019s data-centric transformation. Decades of maritime data collection and acoustic modelling are now being integrated into NATO\u2019s broader multi-domain operations\u2014linking undersea data with air, space, and cyber layers to enable faster, more informed decision-making across the battlespace.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Student engineers from across Europe took part in RAMI25, NATO\u2019s flagship underwater robotics competition. CMRE hosted the challenge, which tasked teams with developing autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) designed to detect and inspect threats to undersea cables. This year marked a technical first, with teams taking on a multi-domain scenario that combined aerial and underwater robotics.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The NATO SET-351 Research Specialist Meeting on \u2018Intelligent Maritime Sensing from Coastal to Littoral Environments\u2019 focused on sensors in harsh maritime environments, enabled by emerging and disruptive technologies. Twenty-one papers were presented on related research topics, and awards given for Best Paper and Young Scientist.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tI was very pleased to attend the Research Specialists Meeting on Intelligent Maritime Sensing from Coastal to Littoral Environments. The high-level discussions on sensing in dynamic maritime domains highlighted the critical role of advanced sensors, autonomy, artificial intelligence and data fusion in enabling future maritime capabilities. As NATO\u2019s Chief Scientist, it is a priority for me to engage with all panels and activities of the Science and Technology Organization to closely follow up and communicate these scientific and technological advances across the Alliance - thus ensuring that knowledge generated within our network of 5 000 scientists, researchers and engineers continues to translate into operational and strategic advantage for NATO.\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
