  3. Abstract • Maritime Security due to its transnational nature requires strong and structured international cooperation with the involvement of all maritime stakeholders. • National/ Regional/interregional collaboration is the key to the international MS Cooperation. • Cooperative strategies and a conceptual framework is required to orchestrate the maritime security efforts. • A more effective network of global MS cooperation needs to be instituted. CJOS & CSW CENTRES OF EXCELLENCE

  4. Key Points • Global social-economical prosperity is based on safe SLOCs: needs Maritime Security (MS) • MS = MSA + MSO (military/police) + MCB (political) • MSA Comprehensive Approach, starting from: a. National integrated effort (Navy, Inter-Depts/ Agencies, Intel Agencies, Port Authorities, R&D, Industry, etc.) CJOS & CSW CENTRES OF EXCELLENCE

  5. Key Points b. Towards a federation of different networks/systems based on a common architectural framework, using SOA paradigm. (e.g. Commercial space may have large role. Could be forcing function.) c. Information sharing at national, regional, and trans-regional level: • Policy verse legal issues. • Data is just data until processed. • Standard data format. • User defined operating picture. CJOS & CSW CENTRES OF EXCELLENCE

  6. Issues and Concerns • Willingness to share data. • Governance at national, regional, and trans – regional level – Who coordinates? • Definition of common requirements. • Data policy – “Need to know vs need to share” • Multi-level classification data. • Stakeholders’ participation – How to gather them? • Legal concerns to be addressed. • Funding to be addressed. CJOS & CSW CENTRES OF EXCELLENCE

  7. Recommendations • Identify common requirements for a harmonized cross-sectoral and cross-border MSA. • Identify a common Security Strategy, define a Data Policy and implement the related Action Plan. • Adopt a federated-distribuited architecture. • Participate in a cooperative development of technological solutions and standards, using the same framework design and SOA paradigm. CJOS & CSW CENTRES OF EXCELLENCE

  8. Recommendations • Share and optimize as possible all available resources (SATs, naval aviation, coastal radars, etc.). • Use common regional funding (if available) through direct financing of Governments for future projects. (e.g. EU BlueMassMed) • Verify interoperability between current and future MSA initiatives (e.g. NATO TRITON Project). CJOS & CSW CENTRES OF EXCELLENCE

  9. Action Items • Investigate feasibility of using commercial space and collaborative manner for maritime surveillance. • Include broader range of participants in future maritime security events. CJOS & CSW CENTRES OF EXCELLENCE
