Navy, Quad Partners Track Dark Fleets
1 source · first reported 1h ago
The US Navy and Quad partners are working to 'fingerprint' dark fleets in the Pacific through a recent contract award to a company spun out of Maxar. The effort is being led by the Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific. The goal is to improve maritime domain awareness and tracking of unidentified vessels.
Why it matters
This initiative is significant as it enhances the ability of the US and its allies to monitor and track dark fleets, which can be used for illicit activities such as smuggling or piracy. The use of advanced technology to 'fingerprint' these vessels can help improve maritime security in the Pacific.
