Juntamente com instituições científicas nacionais e estrangeiras, da NATO e a Marinha belga, a Marinha portuguesa participou no REP 17, durante o qual foram testadas capacidades de veículos autónomos submarinos, de superfície e aéreos

A Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto (FEUP) recebeu no dia 17 de Novembro o Embaixador da Noruega, Anders Erdal, que se deslocou ao Porto com a sua comitiva, por ocasião do evento Business2Sea. Durante o encontro, o Laboratório de Sistemas e Tecnologia Subaquática (LSTS) da FEUP teve a oportunidade de dar a conhecer o trabalho desenvolvido na área dos veículos autónomos e de apresentar os resultados já alcançados ao nível do projeto Networked Ocean (NetOcean), financiado pelo EEA Grants.

As in previous years, LSTS and the Portuguese Navy are once again co-organizing REP16 exercise. This year, among the participants are CMRE, the Belgian Navy, SPAWAR and Oceanscan-OMT. Observing this exercise will be members from the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, NASA and JPI Oceans.

In July we were at Azores, for the REP 15 exercise. There we put once again our systems to test, responding to a series of challenges.

Illustrative 3D Visualization of Networked Vehicles Systems, is a master thesis by Yekaterina Kirilyuk, which aimed to create a three-dimensional illustrative visualization to convey the concept of real missions executed by means of robotic vehicles to the technical and non-technical public.

REP14-Atlantic stands for Recognized Environmental Picture (REP) Atlantic 2014. REP14-Atlantic is a joint exercise of the Portuguese Navy, the NATO Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE) and the Faculty of Engineering of University of Porto (FEUP). 
REP14-Atlantic is a large experiment to be conducted in the Lisbon Naval Base and off the coasts of Sesimbra and Sines, in Portugal, from 7 to 24 July 2014. It includes several Autonomous Surface Vessels (ASVs), Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) equipped with different sensors and acoustic payloads, which will be deployed from Portuguese Navy ships NRP (“Navio da Republica Portuguesa” i.e. Ship of the Portuguese Republic) Pégaso, NRP Auriga, submarine NRP Arpão and the NATO Research Vessel Alliance.
