Torsten FreyGUEST
We're also part of our consortium, and I guess that is what the funding organisation liked about our proposal.

Torsten FreyGUEST
Also, we brought along partners from Eastern Europe, particularly also Ukrainian partners.

Torsten FreyGUEST
and we have a partner in our consortium who are specialized on automatic detection of of drones and of targets so we built a use case for the munitions issue where we say okay if there is a munition clearance operation taking place it also needs to be that there needs to be surveillance organized around it where you automatically recognize there is an underwater vehicle approaching the site.

Torsten FreyGUEST
There is maybe also a surface vessel approaching the site and to automatically recognize this and maybe warn them that they shouldn't come any closer to a clearance site or to an offshore disposal facility.

Alex ConacherHOST
A screen of bubbles might protect the ocean environment from the detonation of one device, but not a submerged arsenal.
