organisation profile
NATO Science and Technology Organisation - Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE) is a world-renowned NATO scientific research and experimentation facility located in La Spezia, Italy. CMRE was established by the North Atlantic Council on 1 July 2012 as part of the NATO Science & Technology Organisation. The CMRE and its predecessors have served NATO for over 50 years as the SACLANT Anti- Submarine Warfare Centre, SACLANT Undersea Research Centre, NATO Undersea Research Centre (NURC) and now as part of NATO's Science & Technology Organisation. CMRE conducts cutting-edge maritime scientific research and experimentation, ranging from concept development to prototype demonstration at sea. Over the preceding decades, CMRE has produced global leaders in acoustics, oceanography and other disciplines in addition to pioneering key technologies and approaches that are now employed worldwide. The Centre's output has also been applied to build a number of operational concepts and capabilities for NATO and the nations. CMRE has an experienced Engineering Department (ED), providing the capability to rapidly develop concepts into prototypes that can be demonstrated at sea, in trials and military experiments. The ED has a range of leading- edge maritime test facilities, coupled with talented engineers with decades of experience working in offshore environments. A particular strength lies in measuring and assessing, to stringent standards, underwater noise. CMRE operates two research vessels, the Global- Class (and ice strengthened) NATO Research Vessel ALLIANCE and the Coastal Research Vessel LEONARDO, each with extensive laboratory facilities and fitted with a wide range of advanced sensing and equipment handling systems capable of precise maneuvering for scientific research tasks. ALLIANCE is the world's quietest and most capable underwater acoustic research vessel. In addition to its laboratories, the Centre is equipped with a diverse fleet of Autonomous underwater and surface Vehicles (AxV) and a world-class inventory of seagoing sensors.
