OPV ‘Furor’ participates in Exercise ‘Dynamic Messenger-23’.

The offshore patrol vessel (OPV) ‘Furor’ (P-46) has just deployed to Portugal until September 29^th to participate in Exercise ‘Dynamic Messenger-23’ (DYMS-23), integrating into her combat system up to 4 unmanned vehicles (UXV), all of them designed by Spanish companies.

Unmanned vehicles are currently considered as one of the ten main disruptive technologies of the 21^st century. These vehicles have become a multiplier factor of the capabilities of a Naval Force and an enhancer of the technological superiority in the operations.

The participation of the Spanish Navy in Exercise ‘Dynamic Messenger-23’ is an excellent opportunity to boost the development and use of unmanned vehicles, as it is also a chance to train its units in an area that will include new concepts and technology in multi-domain naval operations.

Thanks to the multilateral cooperation, DYMS-23 is a naval exercise where the Spanish Navy contributes to strengthen NATO’s stance on deterrence and defense, assuring that the maritime component is at the forefront of our technological development.
