NATO is supporting a project to ensure the continuity of the internet in the event of subsea cable disruptions in European waters. Researchers from the US, Iceland, Sweden, and Switzerland are collaborating to develop a system that can redirect internet traffic from subsea cables to satellite networks in case of sabotage or natural disasters. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization's Science for Peace and Security Programme has granted up to €400,000 for the $2.5 million project, with additional support from research institutions. This initiative aims to enhance the resilience of internet infrastructure and safeguard civilian and military communications. The project highlights efforts to address potential vulnerabilities in critical communication networks and ensure uninterrupted connectivity in the face of emerging threats.
