CRITICAL REQUIREMENTS, INITIATIVES AND OPPORTUNITIES on the Needs in Protecting the Borders and Ports
Washington DC • March 31-April 1, 2008
Maritime Security & Domain
Awareness:
New Opportunities, Plans, and Critical Needs
Evolving terrorist and asymmetric threats require the development of new maritime technical capabilities across a broad range of domains – from transport and commerce security to the intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance technologies necessary to ensure: broad area, coastal and port security; systems interoperability; ship identification and credentialing; underwater security; and maritime communications defense. Because maritime security and domain awareness are so complex, they impact not only our naval and coast guard forces, but also those organizations committed to anti-terrorism and operators of the nation’s ports. Over-arching these considerations is the need to develop better situational awareness in the maritime domain, as well as the need to design and develop new mechanisms for real-time intelligence and information sharing.
This outstanding conference brings together the experts and organizations at the forefront of developing the necessary technologies and management strategies to assure Maritime Domain Awareness goals are met and adequate protection of US maritime borders, ports, transportation and commerce is attained. What is the status and forecast for implementing new Maritime Domain Awareness requirements? What are the latest WMD threat assessments? What role will the Navy’s Broad Area Maritime Surveillance program play? What new technologies are being developed for communications and infrastructure protection? Port surveillance, intelligence and inspection? What role will new unmanned systems play? Traditional Navy and Coast Guard platforms? These and many other questions will be addressed at this event.
