根据英国海军8月13日发布的消息，英国皇家海军已表明其承诺使用自主水下机器人系统进行水下勘测工作的承诺。与此同时，英国海军、国防科学技术实验室（DSTL）和国家海洋学中心（NOC）更新并扩充了其对水下环境的谅解备忘录。
根据协议，两家机构将继续在海洋无人系统和传感器的试验和测试方面进行合作，并收集相关数据，从而扩大海军在这一领域的能力。
备忘录的第一版于签署，重点是无人潜航器的联合研发和试验。英国皇家海军灵活的工作方式和新的操作方法使整个过程变得更具创新性，并将继续与世界级的学术研究机构——国家海洋学中心保持联系，目前阶段将更多地关注北大西洋。该协议将包括更大范围的潜在合作项目和信息共享。未来潜在的项目包括对滑翔机、无人水面艇和水下无人潜航器的进一步测试，以及机器人系统的开发及其可能的军事用途。
作为英国卓越的海洋科学中心，国家海洋学中心的核心职责是为大型海洋科学项目提供国家层面的支持和保障，这些工作与皇家海军和DSTL也息息相关。该中心国家海洋设施局副局长利·斯多里（Leigh Storey）表示：“国家海洋学中心与英国皇家海军以及DSTL紧密合作，从海洋学数据的科学解释到无人系统的联合开发，从海岸到深海，仍然有许多紧密合作的机会。”
而DSTL在合作伙伴中的作用是通过自己的研究，以及与该领域其他研究人员和学者们更多的接触，帮助探索英国皇家海军未来的发展方向。

British Royal Navy shows its commitment to using autonomous and robot systems for underwater survey work
AUGUST 13，
According to information published by the British Navy on August 13, , the Royal British Navy has shown its commitment to using autonomous and robot systems for underwater survey work. It comes as the navy, Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) and the National Oceanography Centre have renewed and expanded their Memorandum of Understanding for the underwater environment.The agreement will see the organizations continue to collaborate in trials and testing of marine autonomous systems and sensors to collect >
The first iteration of the memorandum, signed in , focused on the joint development and trials of unmanned underwater vehicles. But as the Royal Navy looks to become more innovative with agile working and new methods of operating, it’s continued relationship with the world-class academic and research of the National Oceanography Centre will now look more to the North Atlantic.
The agreement will encompass a wider scope for potential collaborative projects and information sharing.
Potential projects coming up include further testing of gliders and autonomous surface and underwater vehicles as well as the development of robotics systems and their possible military use.
As the UK’s center of excellence for oceanographic sciences, the core remit of the National Oceanography Centre is to provide national capability and leadership for big ocean science, making its work relevant for both the Royal Navy and DSTL.
The center’s Associate Director for National Marine Facilities, Leigh Storey, said: “There continue to be multiple opportunities for the National Oceanography Centre to work closely with the Royal Navy and DSTL from scientific interpretation of oceanographic data to joint development of autonomous systems, from the coast to the deep ocean.
DSTL’s role in the partnership is to help shape the Royal Navy’s direction of travel in terms of future capability, through their own research, but also through enabling a greater level of engagement with other researchers and academics in the field.
