NATO to set up unmanned fleet in Mediterranean and Baltic seas

The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) is set to create a fleet of unmanned surveillance boats to protect underwater infrastructure in the Mediterranean and Baltic seas, TASS reports


In an interview with Defense News, Admiral Pierre Vandier, the alliance commander for concepts and transformation, said his team is in the early stages of developing a drone fleet so that ‘NATO can see and monitor daily its environment’.

According to Vandier, the goal is to launch the drone surveillance fleet before the next NATO summit, which will take place in the Netherlands in June 2025.
