NAVAL FORCES’ ROLE IN FIGHTING MARITIME TERRORISM
Journal Title: Impact Strategic - Year 2012, Vol 42, Issue 1
Abstract
The beginning of the XXIst century surprised the global naval forces relatively unprepared for the fight against terrorism that has extended into the maritime environment. Naval platforms of the last generation proved to be atypical when it comes to the confrontation with boats and tactics used by terrorists. The efficiency in combating maritime terrorism can be enhanced by appropriate selection of the type of ships to be used in high seas and other technologies to fight against terrorism in harbour basins. Adapting preparation for skills training on the correct approach to the concept of force protection to future members of the crews is a new opportunity that is to be fructified. Combating the marine mine action, together with specific Intelligence activity, are the main directions towards naval forces’ efforts to counter maritime terrorism. EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) divers are the first line in dealing with terrorist elements acting in the aquatic environment.
