EDA Project Modular Lightweight Minesweeping II – deliverable DE 0.7 executive Summary EDA Contract No B-1475-ESM1-GP

Abstract

The main purpose of the European Defence Agency (EDA) project Modular Lightweight Minesweeping II (MLM II) is to improve the technology of the demonstrators for unmanned lightweight modular minesweeping system used in the EDA project MLM, and to develop new sources in order to achieve the prototype stage of those systems. This will be done through theoretical studies, numerical modelling, development and integration of sources, and verifications by sea trials. This document is the Executive Summary of the project. It describes the participants, the objective, the time line, the work packages, the systems involved, the sea trial, the results achieved, the lessons learned and the recommendations. This report is unclassified and can be freely distributed to other participating member states of the European Defence Agency.

Hovedmålet med European Defence Agency-prosjektet Modular Lightweight Minesweeping II (MLM II) er å forbedre teknologien til de ubemannede lettvekstsystemene i det tidligere European Defence Agency-prosjektet MLM, og utvikle dem til prototypestadium. Dette gjøres gjennom teoretiske studier, numerisk modellering, utvikling og integrasjon av kilder og verifisering gjennom sjøprøver. Denne rapporten er en oversikt over prosjektet. Den beskriver deltagerne, målsettingene, tidslinjen, arbeidspakkene, de involverte systemene, sjøprøven, resultatene, erfaringer og anbefalinger. Rapporten er ugradert og kan distribueres fritt til andre deltagende medlemsland i European Defence Agency.
