Our seas and oceans are substantially polluted by conventional and chemical munitions added via different pathways. However, the biggest amount originates from large-scale ammunition dumping activities after World War II.
Data acquisition, assessment, and – in future – monitoring of munitions in our seas and oceans. Therefore, a tremendous amount of historical and modern datasets is acquired and integrated into the system and new technologies like artificial intelligence are used for analysing and connecting these datasets.

The Maps module contains large amounts of geo-referenced historic maps linked to other datasets inside AmuCad.org.
The Documents module is the heart of AmuCad.org, containing tens of thousands of historic documents describing their events.
The Ships module is a large database of ships that includes their history and known positions over time.
The Ammunition module lists thousands of different ammunition types and their different construction parts.
The Chemicals module includes different chemicals and their composition for several purposes (e.g., risk assessment).
A key component of the Ammunition Cadastre Sea is analysis of spatial and non-spatial data. Therefore, innovative approaches from the area of artificial intelligence are used due to the possibilities that the Ammunition Cadastre Sea offers for capturing.
Management, visualisation and Analysis of (geo)data. Almost all relevant data for this topic has a spatial context. Due to the possibilities that the Ammunition Cadastre Sea offers for capturing, visualizing and analysing it will be way easier in the future to transform data into information.
Consolidation of complex spatial and non-spatial data. The Ammunition Cadastre Sea combines several types of complex datasets. These include heterogeneous historic information (e.g., documents, reports and maps) as well as actual data in order to capture the full extent of the ammunition contamination.
