NATO has improved anti-submarine operations significantly in recent years, aided by investments in advanced technology and enhanced surveillance platforms, according to Adm. Stuart Munsch. The US Naval Forces Europe-Africa commander noted NATO's growing proficiency in the Atlantic and High North regions. Heightened concerns about Russia's military activity, including submarines, necessitate effective tracking and countering capabilities. Operating in anti-submarine warfare is highly complex, requiring skilled personnel and resilient technology to manage the challenges presented by sophisticated Russian submarines.
NATO forces have seen noticeable improvements in anti-submarine operations in recent years, due in part to investments in more capable technology and surveillance platforms, a top US admiral told Business Insider on Wednesday.
Adm. Stuart Munsch, the commander of US Naval Forces Europe-Africa, said that NATO has become increasingly involved and proficient in anti-submarine missions in the Atlantic Ocean and in the High North region.
The US and its NATO allies are increasingly concerned about Russia's growing military activity, including its underwater presence, around the North Atlantic and Arctic regions.
Munsch said anti-submarine warfare is one of the hardest missions to execute in naval operations. The tasks are highly complex, personnel involved need to be highly proficient in the systems, and the technology must be tough and resilient to work effectively in the undersea environment.
