OCCAR Delivers First MMCM System to the United Kingdom (UK)

Bristol/UK, 27 February, 2025 – OCCAR is proud to announce the delivery of the first MMCM System to the UK.

The first milestone was reached in 2021 with the delivery of two prototypes/demonstrators to France and the UK shortly after its production launch. Industry, National Experts, Managers and OCCAR faced a number of challenges during the development of this cutting-edge technology, which will ultimately allow the rapid destruction of sea mines in a more cost effective and safer manner than in the past, successfully avoiding human intervention during dangerous operations.

The Royal Navy has been trained and is now ready to further develop this new concept, using this technology of drones remotely controlled from a Portable Operation Centre. This First Capability will allow the Royal Navy to conduct operations in complex environments including uncrewed sonar survey missions up to sea state 4 to maintain precise mapping of the sea floor. Capability to conduct identification and then training of mine neutralisation at sea is also provided with the delivery of the dedicated Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV).

OCCAR delivered the first MMCM System to France in December 2024.
