High Capacity for the High Seas

Escalating conflict and extreme weather in coastal regions create increased demand for unmanned surface vessels to perform both traditionally manned missions and newly identified tasks protecting national interests.

Mission success against near-peer and asymmetric threats depends on actionable intelligence available in near-real-time. Additionally, port survey, anti-mine detection and deep-sea survey missions require increased wireless connectivity to support informed decision making.

For example, amidst mounting interference around its shoreline borders last year, the United Arab Emirates stated during the United Nations Security Council's open debate on maritime security: The UAE is committed to maritime security and the protection of commercial shipping. We are, therefore, seriously concerned by the sharp increase in the number of attacks and threats made against commercial ships in our region, including recent attacks off our coasts and the coastlines of Oman. Attacks on shipping in our region have implications that extend far beyond our waters The UAE will continue to prioritize de-escalation and work in close coordination with partners to ensure the safety and security of maritime navigation in our region.

Whether in the littoral zone or in the open sea, maritime operations require resilient communication technology to avoid transmission interception.

To this end, the L3Harris Technologies Broadband C5ISR Maritime Communications System enables unmanned surface vessel operators to make more-informed tactical decisions with data from a robust spectrum of sensors, from intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; command and control; and telemetry, among others, with a resilient L3Harris high-capacity waveform.
