Toward a Better Future Through Maritime Security

Maritime security operations are extremely costly activities. Nations are trying to match their limited resources to increasing political demands. The ocean's role has only grown since the end of the cold war, and presents new challenges that must be resolved. Where once battleships reigned, flexible, multi-role ships are now engaged in constabulary operations to preserve security and stability at sea. This calls for a more holistic approach, and new models to reduce judgment subjectivity.
