Abstract: This paper aims to provide an overview how to employ marine mammals in naval operations and also to identify possibilities of involving mammals in support of the Romanian Naval Forces. The article uses domain observation and comparative analysis of how to employ marine mammals in the actions of modern fleets. For this purpose, we set out to identify the possibilities of using mammals for military scopes. Also, we will provide historical aspects of involving mammals in military activities in the Black Sea. In addition, we will offer relevant implications and perspectives regarding the use of marine mammals by the Romanian Naval Forces. The novelty of this article comes from the motivation to bring to the attention of Romanian Naval Forces the approach of employing mammals and developing research in the underwater domain based on training marine mammals. The present article is addressed especially to the master students and the personnel of the Naval Forces, and also to those who contribute to the implementation of feasible ideas at the level of the Romanian Naval Forces and intend to develop the underwater domain in order to discourage actions of a potential adversary

Abstract The paper proposes an analysis of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) features that enable them to support naval operations in general, but the focus drawn to the Black Sea basin peculiarities in particular. In the introductory part, the authors succinctly present the Black Sea basin’s physical and strategic characteristics. Then, follows a description of UAVs features and potential missions conducted by these types of robots. In the next section, the article presents the uninhabited aerial vehicle classification and system components. The last chapter analyses the efficiencies and vulnerabilities of these vehicles. The closing section gives some short conclusions regarding the suitability of using such assets to support naval operations and a few further research directions..

AbstractThe article is presenting actual state of the art UGVs capabilities and employment in support of naval operations. The paper provides a demanding inquiry of the Black Sea environment and, in this regard, the ways to employ UGVs in support of naval operations conducted in this basin, especially in the grey waters area. As UGVs can be employed alone, as soldiers companion or multiple vehicles, the paper underlines strong points and shortfalls regarding human-vehicle interaction, ”cooperation” between multiple vehicles, and the possibility and opportunity to employ such platforms in conjunction with other manned or unmanned platforms. In the concluding section, the paper gives some directions of research necessary to improve the ability of this vehicle to support naval operations.

The Black Sea, due to its weak exchange of waters and poor vertical circulation, has an increased sensibility to pollution. Even though this maritime basin is subject to numerous regulations at the national, regional, and international levels, the pollution issue is still actual and stringent. The present paper analyses the findings of three studies focused on marine litter issues and provide, in the concluding part, few directions which can improve the pollution prevention and containment effort. As the studies related to Black Sea litter pollution are scarce and fragmented, the authors took the opportunity and analyzed three different studies conducted in different periods and concluded that a significant part of marine debris is related to naval operations.

The article analyzes the environmental conditions present in the Black Sea basin and, in this view, the opportunity of employment of unmanned underwater platforms, especially in the contested littoral area. The introductory part of the article is presented up to date UUVs platforms in use with their capabilities and limitations. Then, the paper identifies the shortfalls and opportunities to engage unmanned platforms to operate independently or paired with other undersea, surface, unmanned aerial platforms, or fixed arrays. The closing section analyzes the types of payloads, missions, and capabilities of actual vehicles, and some ways ahead are underlined, especially regarding future sensors, weapons, navigation, and underwater communications capabilities.

The associations and ecological conditions of the existence of modern diatoms of the North-West (Pridneprovsky), Prikerchensky and Eastern regions of the subtidal zone of the Black Sea are considered. Based on the unity of the composition of the Present and Sarmatian-Meotian diatom flora, an attempt has been made to model some of the ecological c situation of the Late Miocene Euxinian basin.
