<strong>Exporting</strong> <strong>Maritime</strong> <strong>Education</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Training</strong> <strong>Directory</strong><br />
Correct as at 09/03/2022<br />
The Marine Autonomous <strong>and</strong> Robotics Systems (MARS) Innovation Centre offers SMEs a community <strong>and</strong><br />
platform to collaborate with NOC on funding opportunities; current membership includes companies in<br />
Portugal <strong>and</strong> Canada.<br />
<strong>Training</strong> on subsea autonomous systems<br />
A potential future training opportunity will be for the NOC to collaborate with a UK based SME to develop a<br />
recognised (probably through a level x Apprenticeship) training programme for use by the Royal Navy,<br />
initially.<br />
This program would look at topics such as:<br />
- Regulatory l<strong>and</strong>scape on operating autonomous systems<br />
- Safety aspects<br />
- Basic engineering – how they work, what they do, etc.<br />
- Integration of surface <strong>and</strong> sub-surface system<br />
- Operating <strong>and</strong> piloting<br />
- Next generation technologies.<br />
This type of training would focus on building core competencies in the use of marine autonomous<br />
equipment <strong>and</strong> whilst this is UK focussed to start with, there is no reason why the reach couldn’t be<br />
international in due course.<br />
