Exercise REP(MUS)
REP(MUS) (Robotic Experimentation and Prototyping using Maritime Uncrewed Systems) is an annual military exercise organized and hosted by the Portuguese Navy and NATO with the participation of forces from foreign military forces, universities and tech companies. The exercise has the objective of testing different types of unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned surface vehicles, unmanned undersea vehicles, and unmanned ground vehicles. Today it is the largest UAV testing exercise, with the participation of several NATO countries. Objectives 
REP(MUS) allows nations to pool their resources, talent and ingenuity to create better, more flexible and more interoperable maritime unmanned vehicles and systems;

 Demonstration of the web-based tool Ripples' enhanced capabilities for marine situational awareness and multi-domain unmanned vehicle missions;
 Participation in cooperative mine-warfare missions to be performed by Autonomous Underwater Vehicles from several nations;
 Characterization of acoustic and magnetic signatures of the LAUVs in the open ocean;
 Demonstration of a submarine's response to an emergency distress call;
 Underwater acoustic networking communications with fixed and mobile nodes;
 Radio communication exchanges between the LUME small satellite and Unmanned Air Systems;
 Demonstration of UAV capabilities in amphibious landing;
 Demonstration of multi-robot area coverage under varying currents. REP(MUS)19
