The Ukrainian Navy took part in NATO exercises on the use of unmanned systems in maritime operations for the first time.

Details
The REPMUS 24 exercise took place off the Troy Peninsula in Portugal from September 9-27. The military practiced the use of drones for a number of tasks, including anti-submarine warfare, neutralizing sea mines, and protecting critical underwater infrastructure.
During the exercise, the DELTA system integrated with other combat systems, which allowed for data exchange and the separation of "friend" and "foe" forces. In particular, DELTA connected to and received data on the location of the German "robotic dog" Robotics-L from Rheinmetall. This mobile robot is capable of accompanying soldiers in difficult terrain, performing various tasks and helping to protect them from mine obstacles.
A number of NATO events with Ukraine's participation this year prove how valuable the innovative developments of our military are to our Western partners. Joint maneuvers with NATO, such as REPMUS 24, not only facilitate the exchange of experience, but also increase the level of interaction between Ukraine and our partners. The participation of the Ukrainian Navy in these large-scale exercises and their contribution is an important step towards the further development and technological improvement of the Defense Forces
