Maritime security is a cornerstone of global stability, safeguarding the vast and interconnected ocean that facilitates international trade, economic prosperity, and geopolitical cooperation. Covering more than 70% of the Earth’s surface, the world’s ocean serves as the backbone of global commerce, with approximately more than 80% of trade transported by sea. However, the maritime domain is fraught with complex threats, including piracy, smuggling, illegal fishing, environmental degradation, and geopolitical tensions. Traditional maritime security measures, reliant on manned vessels, aircraft, and shore-based surveillance, are increasingly strained by the scale and diversity of these challenges. Want to know more?
