NRV Alliance
The NATO Research Vessel ALLIANCE is one of the most capable undersea research platforms at sea today and possibly the most quietest motor vessel afloat. She is unique in being one of only two ships owned jointly by member nations of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. NRV ALLIANCE has the status of a public vessel of the Federal Republic of Germany and flies the German republic flag. The vessel is assigned to the NATO Undersea Research Centre of the Supreme Allied Commander Transformation, located at La Spezia, Italy.
ALLIANCE enables scientists from the Centre to conduct a wide range of experiments in all the oceans of importance to NATO. Particular care has been taken to minimise the noise generated by the ship in order to reduce interference with the environmental measurements and acoustic experiments which form an important basis for Centre research. The vessel has been designed for eight different noise states, the quietest one operating on batteries. An auxiliary gas turbine generator provides the lowest noise propulsion option, leading up to the full complement of diesel electric generators allowing the vessel to tow twenty tonnes at twelve knots. The gas turbine and diesel electric generators are mounted on individual vibration isolating rafts and enclosed within acoustic booths to reduce hull and airborne noise transmission.
ALLIANCE has 400 m² of open deck working area as well as 370 m² of enclosed laboratory spaces. There is an additional 500 m³ of scientific storage. The vessel is equipped with an extensive suite of winches and other deck handling gear for deploying and towing systems and instrumentation needed for acoustic and oceanographic research. A sophisticated Windows based integrated navigation system, which utilizes DGPS, includes the ARCS (electronic chart system) and ensures that the ship's position is logged with great precision to provide precise time tagged navigation strings to other fixed vessel sensors such as the Swathe Mapping System and the Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler.
ALLIANCE is operated by a commercial ship manager. When not engaged in NATO research, the vessel is available for charter to NATO nations and international organisations with NATO nation membership.
