Upscaling of Marine Autonomy Report

The Net-Zero Oceanographic Capability scoping study (2021) identified the expansion of marine autonomy as one option for a future research infrastructure. The FMRI programme therefore invited the Challenger Society and NOC Association for Marine Science National Capability to establish the joint Upscaling of Autonomy Working Group (UAWG) to explore this option in more detail with the marine science community.

Chaired by Prof. Mark Inall from the Scottish Association for Marine Science, the UAWG ran a community consultation including three webinars, an online survey and a roundtable discussion workshop. You can now download the findings and recommendations from this engagement in the Upscaling Marine Autonomy in the UK report.
