Description
Summary:During the course of the research, it became apparent that there are no regulations and policies in the area of countering the threats posed by unmanned surface and underwater vehicles. Such vehicles can be used for both military and civilian purposes. In the civilian area, they can be used by pirates and terrorists who may be interested in destroying critical infrastructure such as ports and marine terminals, offshore wind farms, mining platforms, underwater installations, etc. On the other hand, they may threaten to destroy sea vessels with cargo, which may change transport routes, alter maritime transport and logistics chains and increase their maintenance costs. As a result, it is necessary to create not only regulations but viable methods and techniques to defend against this new threat to global maritime transportation routes.
