The CMRE’s Role in Increasing Skills & Investment in Ocean Science to Protect NATO’s Strategic Maritime Priorities

Navy's across the world are shifting their strategic thinking into oceanographic and hydrographic vessels, ocean systems, submarines and maritime unmanned vehicles to enable maritime dominance over adversaries. NATO's Center for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CRME) is leading the research and experimentation of new technologies in ocean science to address security and defense issues within NATO countries. Dr. Warner, Director of the NATO Center, gave insight on the role of the CRME, how the Center supports NATO's maritime strategic interests and is strengthening relationships across sectors, and addresses the potential of new technologies in this operational environment.
