NATO MARITIME COMMAND

The REMUS Autonomous Underwater Vehicle teams from HMCS Kingston and Summerside were hard at work recently, with the ships participating in NATO Exercise Dynamic Messenger from September 25 to 30 during their deployment with Standing Nato Mine Countermeasures Group One. Dynamic Messenger 22 was the first full NATO exercise that specifically focused on integrating unmanned systems into the maritime domain, and more specifically NATO Task Groups at sea, with more than 18 ships, 48 unmanned assets, and 1500 personnel from 16 NATO nations participating.
