PROTECTING CRITICAL UNDERWATER INFRASTRUCTURE AMID
INCREASING SEABED ACTIVITY

As activity on the seabed continues to rise, it is more important than ever for stakeholders to come together to discuss innovative technologies and strategies for the protection of critical undersea infrastructure. Seabed Security (30 September - 01 October, 2025 in Troia, Portugal) will be hosted in association with REPMUS 2025 to deliver data-driven observations from the exercise that will inform the next developments within the underwater battlespace. The conference will focus on the current threat context for undersea infrastructure, the development of new strategies for seabed activity, and the cutting-edge systems being employed for the defence of the seabed.

With themes spanning the full breadth of the undersea community, the conference provides a platform for engaging discussions that will ultimately contribute to increasing the security and resilience of critical undersea infrastructure at a time when stakeholders are seeking to define their approaches to this task. Join us at Seabed Security 2025 to meet with senior military, government, and industry representatives operating in the underwater space in order to secure critical undersea infrastructure against growing threats.
