The 50th Baltic Operations exercise, the premier maritime-focused exercise in the Baltic Region, took place in the Baltic Sea in June.
Air and maritime assets from NATO allies and partner nations were involved in the live training events. Training focus areas included maritime interdiction, mine countermeasure and amphibious operations.
The exercise enhances flexibility and interoperability among allied and partner nations to strengthen combined response capabilities to protect and defend the Baltic Sea region.
Eighteen nations participated in BALTOPS including Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, the U.K., and the U.S.
The Royal Norwegian Navy utilised the MCM100 throughout the BALTOPS exercise with some dives in excess of three hours.
The RAF and UK defence company QinetiQ recently conducted the first live weaponry ‘swing-role’ mission on the range at MoD Aberporth. Read more about it here.
The MCM100 was deployed in numerous roles, successfully completing conventional MCM and search operations while employing both diver propulsion devices and heating systems.
The MCM100 is Avon Protection’s electronically controlled, closed circuit, mixed gas military rebreather for mine countermeasures/EOD and SF diving operations.
The MCM100 delivers true multi-role military rebreather capability, incorporating technology and innovative operational features to deliver enhanced diver safety, extended mission duration and enhanced operability. The BALTOPS exercise demonstrated to the NATO diving community the MCM100’s operational capability, reliability and robustness.
