Partners can contribute to MGEOMETOC COE’s activities as well as access its products and services as agreed by the Steering Committee (SC).
MGEOMETOC COE recognizes the value of relationships with non-NATO Nations and Partners, since this provides an opportunity for experts from different Nations to come together, interact and complete professional training across key subject areas.
Cooperation with Academia, Industry, Think Thanks, and other organizations is of great importance to MGEOMETOC COE, as it allows the sharing of knowledge, expertise and capabilities, in order to foster innovation in the field of Maritime GEOMETOC.
In the context of the Robotic Experimentation Prototyping Augmented by Maritime Unmanned Systems Exercise 2023, Thales, as a Rapid Environmental Assessment partner, participated with their LIDAR sensor integrated into the Schiebel Camcopter for the bathymetric/object detection survey, in support of Amphibious Operations.
Teledyne Company has supported the Rapid Environmental Assessment operations in the REPMUS 23 exercise with new technology, to survey the underwater domain and collect oceanographic environmental information.

In collaboration with the Portuguese GEOMETOC Centre, the COE's Oceanography Staff Officer, Lieutenant Commander Florin Constantinoiu, presented a scientific article based on the results of the Robotic Experimentation and Prototyping augmented by Maritime Unmanned Systems 2023 (REPMUS 23) exercise.
Focusing on shallow water bathymetry, the study explores its importance in civil engineering, port management and military tactics, and describes various methods for shallow water bathymetry assessment using advanced sensor technologies such as LiDAR and MBES integrated into MUSs.

A scientific poster on offshore hydrographic and oceanographic monitoring using ocean drones was presented in association with the Romanian "Dunarea de Jos" University of Galati.
As the world's dependence on offshore energy resources grows, the use of maritime uncrewed systems is emerging as a promising strategy for protecting and monitoring vulnerable offshore platforms. As technology advances, these systems offer unprecedented opportunities to enhance the safety of offshore installations while maximising operational efficiency.

The NATO Maritime GEOMETOC COE, together with the Romanian "Dunarea de Jos" University of Galati and the Centre for Marine Technology and Ocean Engineering at the Portuguese "Instituto Superior Técnico", collaborated on an autonomous shallow water hydrographic survey using an uncrewed surface vessel (USV).
This paper outlines a reliable technique for efficient processing of hydrographic data acquired by a prototype USV owned by Unmanned Survey Solutions Corporation.
