 Baltops is an annually recurring multinational exercise designed to demonstrate the resolve of allied and partner forces to defend the Baltic region. Our role is doing post-mission analysis from the unmanned underwater vehicles out on the water. We're looking at what we call a waterfall, the sonar imagery, to analyze whether there could be underwater mines and then we pass that data up to our chain of command and they decide from there whether we dive on it or if it is looked at another time. We're trying to keep the seas clear mines, whether those are new mines or things from the past in former world wars that could potentially still harm a ship that transits through the waters. Mine countermeasure exercises are just one of the many facets of Baltops 2016. For more information about Baltops 2016, visit navy.mil.
