The Royal Military Academy (RMA) is a military institution of university education responsible for the basic academic, military and physical training of future officers, and for the continuing advanced training of officers during their active career in the Defence department.

The RMA also conducts research which is predominantly aimed at solving military problems. In addition, security and safety problems are also eligible. Finally, in a much broader sense, strategic issues such as energy independence can be considered.

The marine research topics are situated in the field of remote sensing in the broad sense. Research is conducted in the field of mine counter measure, for instance to increase the performance of existing sonars and gradiometers. It inter alia also concerns research on air- and space-borne sensors such as scatterometers which are radar instruments, measuring the wind speed and direction above water surfaces.
