The University of Plymouth and the Royal Navy have reaffirmed their commitment to working together on a range of innovative research and other initiatives.
The two organisations initially joined forces in 2021 with the ambition of conducting research and advancing understanding around the future potential of marine autonomy and maritime cyber security.
They have now agreed to collaborate, for at least a further three years, on an expanded range of disciplines that also includes floating offshore wind (FLOW) and the use of artificial intelligence (AI).
This work will be carried out through the continued sharing of facilities and equipment owned by the University and the Navy.
It will also make use of Smart Sound Plymouth, the UK's premier proving area for designing, testing and developing cutting edge products and services for the marine sector.
The extended partnership agreement was signed by
Professor Kevin Jones, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research and Innovation) at the University, and Commodore Marcus Rose, Deputy Director Underwater Battlespace Capability at the Royal Navy.
