The Centre for Security and Defence Technology at the Gdansk University of Technology has signed a contract with the Świnoujście Naval Port Command to carry out work on the MMD-P sea mines. The contract has a gross value of PLN 4.5 million.

The work, scheduled for 2023-2025, will include diagnosis, repair and modification of MMD-P mines at the Świnoujście and Gdynia War Ports, as well as at the Bohaterów Westerplatte Naval Academy. Acceptance tests after the service will be carried out on selected Navy ships. Details of the contract are classified.

The MMD-P mine is designed to remotely measure and record the physical fields of ships and the sweep fields of non-contact minesweepers. It is an important tool allowing the assessment of the level of physical fields of ships (as an element of the ship’s passive defence) and enables the assessment of the effectiveness and use of towed minesweeping systems and hydrolocation stations in mine countermeasures.
