The outcome is a shared NATO #standard (STANAG 4817), developed at REPMUS, that finally lets underwater vehicles from different manufacturers send commands and report status to each other.

The @EUDefenceAgency co-organises REPMUS with Portugal: connecting the #underwater domain with exercises on land, so sea, land and air finally operate as one system.
Next stop: #OPEX26 in October, also in Portugal 🇵🇹🤙

MARSUR is one of EDA's flagship programmes
🇪🇺 It shows that European nations can build the shared situational awareness needed to protect their own waters — from securing undersea infrastructure to tracking "shadow fleet" vessels — while remaining fully interoperable with NATO.
