SEABED WARFARE - Why should you care?
All our internet runs through these critical underwater cables, here's what NATO is doing to protect them. During Exercise REPMUS 2023, NATO Allies and Partners worked together to test new technologies that can be used to protect our critical underwater infrastructure.
Allied Command Operations (ACO), NATO's headquarters for all military plans and operations, is the successor to two historic strategic commands for NATO – Allied Command Europe and Allied Command Atlantic.
ACO is one of The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation's (NATO) two strategic military commands. The other command being Allied Command Transformation ACT in Norfolk, Virginia.

Collaborative uncrewed capabilities for seabed warfare
USV/AUV collaborative capabilities: ECA Group and iXblue demonstrate new possibilities for seabed exploration.
In seabed warfare, the area of operation varies greatly. In the past, naval warfare was conducted from the surface to the maximum immersion depth of a nuclear-powered submarine. That is to say, only a few hundred meters. But it is now crucial to protect vital infrastructures lying on the seafloor, several hundreds, sometimes even thousands, meters deep. These infrastructures, mainly cables and pipelines, are critical for the connectivity of nations worldwide. Hence, the need to monitor and safeguard them from any threat. To do so, nations need to be able to detect a potential threat, characterize it, and then neutralize it.

Ocean innovation: Powering the seabed for a sustainable future
Future energy supply will increasingly depend on ocean assets—deep water, far offshore oil & gas fields, and wind farms. With increasing water depth and distance to shore, what innovations—such as subsea power—can help address the emerging challenges that include reliable electrification and improved efficiency? How will the industry limit environmental impact?

EXPLORE: Fiji's underwater world and the threat of deep seabed mining
Can you believe we’ve explored the moon more than we have our deep sea? 👀
This underwater world is full of wonder and life – but it’s under threat by deep seabed mining. This new extractive industry could destroy this unique part of our planet.
The good news: it’s one threat we can stop before it begins.
That's why in Fiji – where the ocean matters deeply to many – people are working to turn the tides by stopping deep seabed mining before it’s too late. #OurOceanPalau #NoDeepSeaMining #DefendTheDeep

USV/AUV collaborative capabilities: ECA Group and iXblue demonstrate new possibilities for seabed exploration.
In seabed warfare, the area of operation varies greatly. In the past, naval warfare was conducted from the surface to the maximum immersion depth of a nuclear-powered submarine. That is to say, only a few hundred meters. But it is now crucial to protect vital infrastructures lying on the seafloor, several hundreds, sometimes even thousands, meters deep. These infrastructures, mainly cables and pipelines, are critical for the connectivity of nations worldwide. Hence, the need to monitor and safeguard them from any threat. To do so, nations need to be able to detect a potential threat, characterize it, and then neutralize it.
For years, ECA Group and iXblue have been developing payloads, equipment, and systems able to operate down to 6,000m for customers around the world. Both companies have solid track records that position them ideally in the seabed warfare domain.
ECA Group has decades-long expertise in high-performance AUVs, with references including top-tier navies worldwide. Recent developments have led to the release of the A18D mid-size autonomous system, going down to 3000m. ECA Group AUVs demonstrate the best balance of compactness, endurance, performance, modularity, innovation, and competitiveness. But, ECA Group went further than the 3000m, keeping the seabed exploration in mind, the company has developed the Ulyx AUV, in partnership with Ifremer. Ulyx is a high-technology AUV that can operate at 6000m depth and offers long endurance surveys and unique low altitude hovering capabilities.
A leader in the field of maritime autonomy, iXblue develops its own Uncrewed Surface Vehicle (USV): DriX. Already deployed by major companies and hydrography administrations worldwide, DriX is able to conduct both remote-controlled and supervised autonomous operations (within visual range or Over The Horizon) and offers outstanding seakeeping and speed capabilities. Fitted with an advanced collision avoidance system that fusions all data collected by its embarked navigation sensors (video and IR cameras, LiDAR, radar…), DriX offers high security at sea, even within restricted areas. Able to host a wide range of payloads for multi-mission capabilities, DriX is a versatile autonomous asset that is particularly suited for subsea asset tracking and communication, as well as operations requiring high quality subsea data acquisition.

This agreement sets the ground for a strategic partnership aimed at developing and pursuing business opportunities in the field of designing, engineering, building and managing Deep Seabed Mining systems.
Fincantieri and Saipem decided to pool together their expertise to provide these professionals with innovative solutions. Therefore, the first goal of the partnership will be to draw up an industrial plan containing evidence of the technical and economic feasibility and sustainability of new Deep Seabed Mining projects.
Deep-sea floors are rich in minerals, mostly sulphides, cobalt crusts and polymetallic nodules, all of which are essential to modern digital economy. There are no appropriate industrial extraction applications, however, that can enable mining companies to extend their activities in open water.

The Seabed Minerals Authority (SBMA) will be producing a series of videos going into depth about this emerging deep sea mineral sector. The series is intended to give everyone an insight into its growth and development through the continuous work being done by the Cook Islands government in collaboration with our stakeholders (NGOs, traditional leaders, religious brances, etc.) and the people of the Cook Islands.
This video is the first in the series to be released and is a general overview of the sector.
From over 20 years of SPC research, we now know that we have a type of Seabed Mineral (SBM) called Manganese Nodules in great abundance in our Cook Island EEZ (CIZ). At the time of discovery it was known that this resource would be very valuable in future global minerals markets. These nodules have been found to contain cobalt, nickel, copper, manganese, titanium, and valuable Rare Earth Elements (REE). These nodules can be reduced to precious metals that are used in the communications and other industries, and for most smart and green technologies.
