NATO to test anti-submarine warfare underwater and surface vehicles


The NATO Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE) will test a wave-powered unmanned surface vehicle known as the Wave Gilder at its upcoming Proud Manta '13 exercise, which serves as a way to test new anti-submarine warfare (ASW) technologies, the organization said.
