Maritime Domain Awareness (2011)

In a time where Naval Forces around the world are facing budget constraints and piracy continues to plague all corners of the globe; it is vital to maximise cooperation between maritime authorities and private industry in order to create enhanced Maritime Domain Awareness. Statistics from the International Maritime Bureau show that piracy reached record levels in 2010 – creating a climate of uncertainty over how to combat this threat and the level of force required to protect crucial shipping lines. SMi’s Maritime Domain Awareness conference will once again explore multiple MarSec threats and an effective understanding of the maritime domain.
