2 MSA Definitions Maritime Surveillance Networking (MARSUR): MSA is the effective understanding of activities, associated with and occurring in the maritime domain that could impact on the security, safety and environment of the European Union and its Member States. MSR Manual SA: The human perception of the elements of the operational environment within a volume of time and space, the comprehension of their meaning and the projection of their status in the near future. NATO MSA: NATO MSA is an enabling capability which seeks to deliver the required Information Superiority in the maritime environment to achieve a common understanding of the maritime situation in order to increase effectiveness in the planning and conduct of operations.

3 MSA Definitions U.S. National Concept of Operations for MDA: Global Maritime Situational Awareness is "the comprehensive fusion of data from every agency and by every nation to improve knowledge of the maritime domain. USMC NHQ, 1998, Situational Awareness: Knowledge and understanding of the current situation which promotes timely, relevant, and accurate assessment of friendly, enemy, and other operations within the battle space in order to facilitate decision making. An informational perspective and skill that fosters an ability to determine quickly the context and relevance of events that are unfolding.

4 MSA Process Data Collection surveillance, detection, tracking, identification, additional information Analysis - display, fusion, automatic verification, analysis, assessment Disseminate Information Sharing

5 MSA Characteristics Global issue economic drivers No one can do it alone Not only military interagency Information sharing Continuous activity- 24/7 Not just data but understanding Increasing amount of data Focus shift from blue waters to littorals Different levels of information requirements Cooperation cooperation cooperation!

6 Doctrine MSA is not well understood as a task What are the threats why are we doing this How to execute the mission What is the required level of effort Considered as a secondary task - priority Lacking cohesion joint SA No access to other domains

7 Doctrine What information is critical all? Insufficient information - cargo, crew, intentions? Lacking information on the big picture Over classification difficult data management Delayed and/or partial information missed opportunity What are the MSA methods for units approaches, hailing, queries, reporting

8 Doctrine What are the maritime situational indicators No common standard for VOI categorization What are the pre-planned responses How to collaborate MOC-to-MOC Cyber vulnerabilities are not addressed sufficiently Incidents are not investigated regarding MSA gaps Need to know mind set

9 Organization Lack of overarching structure - different agencies involved by their law Cooperation agreements are not made Single POCs are not identified/known Barriers for information gathering cultural, caveats, policy, legal,technical restrictions

10 Organization Integration of the systems are not efficient Industry is not involved R&D, use of satellites Mobile MSA teams Focus areas enhanced MSA, rapid response, crisi management Rivalry for budget and status

11 Training MSA is not part of Navies traditional training Majority of the staff don t have previous experience National training centers are not yet covering this requirement Not enough training centers Legal issues/implications are not clear/part of training program Local specialties/knowledge is lacking Joint SA not covered

12 Training HUMINT aspect is not considered Exercises are not addressing MSA directly Other agencies and merchant shipping needs training as well even bigger problem LL/LI are not available to improve training Different systems require specific training Cyber vulnerabilities are not addressed sufficiently New threats needs to be addressed cyber, environment, underwater, etc.

13 Material Each organization has/wants its own system Systems not compatible Designed to receive data not distribute Maritime environment and capabilities has restrictions Joint SA still immature information beyond the sea AIS information not reliable & majority good guys Feed maritime C2 decision making tool

14 Material Limited capabilities helo, night vision, etc One way information flow Unit level - no access to database/statistics New technologies are not effectively used unmanned systems, satellites, analysis software, etc. Merchant shipping not in the loop Systems update and interoperability should be a continuous process cost?

15 Leadership High level engagement to overcome barriers Stakeholders are reluctant MSA requirements and opportunities need to be addressed Mutual benefit is not explored well driver? MSA not 7/24, still secondary Cooperation - harmonization Engagement beyond the sea origin!

16 Leadership Joint SA not an objective/priority Multinational initiatives needed A strategic communication plan is missing Not only a military issue political will! Make the most of what is already available connecting networks AOR s not clear/defined

17 Personnel Augmentation to the existing manning is not easy Lack of MSA SME - Multidisciplinary nature of MSA Generally not the primary job POCs not identified and or networked Human interaction is limited in MSA systems Involvement of commercial shipping not structured

18 Personnel Multidisciplinary nature of MSA makes personnel management harder Deployable MSA teams to be explored joint? Intel-HUMINT aspect to be improved

19 Facilities Existing MSA capabilities are not well known Potential MSA capabilities to be explored

20 Interoperability Different systems/requirements and objectives Complex mechanisms for information sharing Lack of common procedures and standards Lack of vision/will for interoperability of MSA systems Lack of knowledge of other MSA systems

21 Interoperability Better use of what is available Overarching structure/body to lead New technologies to be explored MSA capabilities need to be more flexible MSA process
