Abstract

The technological potential offered by Maritime Unmanned Systems (MUS) is recognized by many countries as an effective tool for both military and civilian applications. The increasing use of MUS brought substantial and new challenges to the Test and Evaluation process that becomes significantly more complicated than traditional systems. Unmanned systems have continuously increasing complexity and capabilities and can be at different maturity levels. These technologies necessitate for specific Test and Evaluation tools throughout the whole program life cycle. For the above reasons, the Naval Support and Experimentation Centre (CSSN) of the Italian Navy and the Italian Interuniversity Center on Integrated Systems for the Marine Environment (ISME) founded a joint laboratory in 2015, called SEALab (Laboratory on marine heterogeneous and autonomous systems), with the main goal to jointly develop and manage applied research and experimentation activities of common interest in the field of heterogeneous and autonomous marine systems.
