Serious gaps exist in identifying and prioritizing world-wide maritime threats. Maritime security and defense forces lack
the capabilities and capacities to provide timely and accurate maritime situational awareness. They lack automatic tools
to identify and prioritize relevant and actionable information to avoid information overload. The inability to acquire,
fuse and manage disparate information limits timely cueing and focus. Information sharing is inhibited by technical,
cultural and policy barriers.
The Comprehensive Maritime Awareness Joint Capabilities Technology Demonstration attempts to address
these problems by developing a "culture of sharing" between international partners and the U.S. and between U.S.
agencies. It is our vision that we will be able to automatically; 1) 100% of the maritime movements within an area of
responsibility, 2) automatically identify threats, and 3) prioritize them for action. The over all objective is to improve
maritime security by acquiring, integrating, and exchanging relevant maritime activity information, identifying possible
threats using available information, and then focusing limited interdiction and inspection assets on the most probable
threats.
