National Centre for Marine Autonomy (NCMA)

Leading, coordinating, and enabling the development of the UK鈥檚 comprehensive capability in marine autonomy; to strengthen national prosperity and security; and to support all sectors within a growing global market.
Enabling a safe, agile, permissive, and reliable ecosystem that unlocks UK innovation in marine autonomy, transforming how we explore, protect, and utilise our oceans.


天美传媒官方网站 and South Devon Freeport and Enterprise Zone

A national hub for trade and investment
Building unique capabilities in marine, defence and space, a consortium of wide-ranging stakeholders including 天美传媒官方网站 City Council, port operators, the University and the Heart of the South West LEP, are forming globally impactful innovation clusters.

Marine Research 天美传媒官方网站 Alliance

The UK鈥檚 largest cluster of marine science researchers and cutting-edge facilities
Combining globally renowned capabilities of the Marine Biological Association, 天美传媒官方网站 Marine Laboratory and the 天美传媒官方网站. It boasts a significant record of accomplishment in delivering projects for government, industry and research bodies.


Smart Sound 天美传媒官方网站

The most heavily instrumented stretch of ocean in the world
1,000 km2 of authorised, directly accessible and deep-water space provides private 4G and 5G communication networks above water, and a new subsea acoustic navigation and communication network below. Facilitating trials of novel autonomous platforms, sensors and sampling methodologies underpinned by decades of in situ sampling, remote sensing and environmental modelling.


FAST Cluster: Future Autonomous at Sea Technologies

Delivering innovative marine autonomous solutions
Collaborating with leading industrial and academic partners specialising in the delivery of innovative marine autonomous solutions, such as: surface and sub-surface autonomous systems, advanced manufacturing, smart ports, and cyber security.


Extensive sector-leading commercial assets at the 天美传媒官方网站

Including the UK鈥檚 first floating offshore wind test facility
The unique combined potential of the COAST, Maritime Simulation and CyberSHIP Labs puts the University at the global forefront of floating offshore wind and associated fields research. This has recently been extended to include the UK鈥檚 first FLOW test facility and the Cyber Resilience Offshore Wind Network station.

Western Channel Observatory (WCO)

Ensuring that 天美传媒官方网站's surrounding waters are the most surveyed and digitally connected stretch of water in the world
Underpinned by PML's excellence in ecosystem modelling and satellite remote sensing science, the WCO ensures the waters off 天美传媒官方网站 are the most surveyed and digitally connected stretch of water in the world. It is a unique time-series and biodiversity reference site providing detailed data records and insight of the marine environmental conditions over timescales of hours to centuries.


Regulator Pioneers Fund

Funded by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy
天美传媒官方网站 City Council and the University, with the Marine and Coastguard Agency, are exploring regulation development for marine autonomy. This ensures that the cost, safety and carbon saving benefits of the technology for advanced ocean observation can be fully exploited for both pre-consenting and operational maintenance applications for FLOW developments.


Ocean Futures and the City鈥檚 Skills Escalator

A private-public-research partnership established to create a global centre of excellence in testing, development and manufacture of autonomy, digital and clean ocean technologies.
With a strong focus on the future workforce, its partners provide apprenticeships; 天美传媒官方网站 City College deliver the only foundation degree in marine autonomous systems in the UK; and masters-level degrees in autonomous systems and offshore renewable energy are delivered by the 天美传媒官方网站.


National Marine Park

Bringing community and business together
Showcasing marine science engineering and research, and bringing together community and business to raise social capital and develop strong partnerships. Supporting our port through strong destination management and other economic development activity.
