National Centre for Coastal Autonomy

The National Centre for Coastal Autonomy (NCCA) is aimed at delivering world-leading capability in coastal autonomy. At its core, the NCCA comprises a fleet of state-of-the-art surface autonomous vessels, sub-surface coastal platforms and sophisticated scientific buoys integrated on a unique high-speed marine communications network. This combination of innovation and new technology, driven from its national hub in Plymouth, will deliver the UK’s first autonomous coastal observing system.
