Abstract
ABSTRACT A team of experts, assembled by the World Technology Evaluation Center, visited twenty‐five locations in Russia and Ukraine to observe the state of undersea technologies. Academic sites, basic research institutes, industrial development laboratories, and oceanographic operating bases were visited. The report highlights specific technologies that support research submersibles; and critiques the strengths and weaknesses of the ocean technologies establishment.Russia and Ukraine were found to have a number of strengths, especially in test facilities, a large fleet of surface and submersible research vessels, and highly educated and qualified engineers and scientists. Although political and economic conditions need to be overcome, there is motivation for many cooperative commercial or research ventures with both government institutes and new private companies in Russia and Ukraine.
