AUV „Luise“ one underwater research platform of GEOMAR project BASTA

Given the risks associated with the hazards of munitions in the sea and the limitations of existing measurement methods, research is continuously trying new approaches for a faster and more detailed evaluation of the existence of munition in the sea.

The aim is not only the optimization of existing methods, but the development and application of new workflows, tools and sensors as well as analysis procedures  which enable improved detection. The greater the knowledge about the munition contamination is for a given area as better targeted can solutions be designed and executed.
