On September 8, 2021, during the second day of the International Defence Industry Exhibition (MSPO), a seminar summarizing the European project "OCEAN2020" was held. It was mainly focused on the second sea demonstration which saw a wide range of unmanned systems in the Baltic Sea, and was completed in August 2021. Its aim was to ensure the possibility of integration and cooperation of European countries in conducting joint military operations. This demonstration was the second important milestone of this international project.

OCEAN2020 has successfully completed the execution of the second sea demonstration, held on the 25 and 26 of August  at Hano Bight, off the southern coast of Sweden, with the participation of 18 European companies, research institutes and defence ministries from 10 different EU Countries. The sea demonstration showed how the information collected from the assets deployed in the area of operations can be integrated to create a Recognised Maritime Picture (RMP).

In the second week of July EDA performed the technical check of the two IOSB assets that will participate in the Baltic Sea Demonstration, UUS DeDave and USS Waterstrider.

As part of the simulated demonstration activities foreseen in the frame of the OCEAN2020 project, a demonstration of our partner Intracom Defense (IDE) on ‘’USS Autonomous Behaviour model’’ was held on Wednesday 23rd of June at IDE premises, with the attendance of EDA and Leonardo representatives.
