Belgian navy, Research group
The Belgian Navy is actively involved in the monitoring and protection of Belgian Waters. Our interest relates mainly to the detection and behaviour of sea mines in shallow water, a heritage of the two World Wars. Research is conducted on sediment dynamics to establish mine burial risk and environmental monitoring.
