The objective of the workshop is to facilitate exchange of information on current and recently completed research and technology work-strands in the area of Unmanned Maritime Systems under EDA and related civil applications of UMS under FP7, in particular ICT – driven projects in DG CONNECT.
The benefits expected are: information exchange, avoidance of duplication, identification of synergies, networking among experts, creation of new ideas/proposals, a meeting between researchers and end-users interested in further development of achieved results. The workshop is supported by the European Defence Agency (EDA) and the Management Committee of the EDA UMS programme.
