    Abstract: The problem of underwater UneXploded Ordnance (UXO) remediation is, if possible, long and complex using conventional methods such as divers in the field. The last decade has seen a proliferation of autonomous underwater and surface systems, dedicated or adapted to the purpose. Performance evaluation of these systems requires at sea testing in well-defined and controlled conditions, to be recreated and documented as accurately as possible. The NATO-STO-CMRE, under the sponsorship of the ESTCP, is executing a Project aiming to implement, maintain and operate an underwater UXO test site in the gulf of La Spezia, Italy, providing logistic and technical support to external Demonstrators, and disseminating results through ESTCP-SERDP initiatives, workshops and conferences. First demonstrations are planned for September 2023
