As part of the field experimentation activities, a representative operational scenario was established to collect real-world data and assess the performance of the technologies under development. The experimentation was supported by the Portuguese Navy at the Integration Field Testing 2026, under the guidance of the Portuguese Navy Operational Experimentation Centre (CEOM). The trials employed a combination of optical, acoustic, and electromagnetic (EM) sensors, complemented by standard vessel identification systems such as AIS, enabling the acquisition of multi-modal data under realistic conditions. The experiments supported the evaluation of the system's ability to detect, identify, and monitor targets while assessing operational performance metrics, including responsiveness and data processing efficiency. In addition, initial interoperability and Command and Control (C2) capabilities were tested, validating key aspects of information exchange and integration among the different technological components. The results obtained provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of the proposed solutions in representative operational environments and contribute to the validation of the overall system concept.
