All of the MANGROVE consortium's expertise and collaborative focus for the next 12 months will be on the successful development of a mission network for NATO’s operations in the underwater battlespace. As all aspects of the underwater domain grow in their strategic significance, this will be a critical contribution to our collective maritime security and defence.
The AUWB-MN project is a significant step forward in the modernisation of our capabilities and the ability for NATO allies to operate effectively together in the underwater domain of the future. We are confident that Saab and the MANGROVE consortium will deliver a robust and effective mission network that strengthens NATO's maritime defence.
