TECHNOLOGY ROADMAP: TRANSPORTATION

4.4.3 Future ship security challenges and roadmap
for eradicating piracy
With the advancement of technology, there is
every possibility that pirates may gain access to
highly sophisticated weapons that may include fast
attack crafts, high end electronic warfare devices,
thermal imaging cameras, improved explosive
devices etc. which will make pirate or terrorist
attacks lethal.

Development of new techniques and capabilities,
constant vigilance and realistic training will be
necessary in order to locate, outmanoeuvre, deter
or defeat such attempts in future by the pirates.
Further, focusing on strengthening state authority,
good governance, law enforcement and economic
development of fragile coastal states and stabilizing
and supporting failed states should be the long
term goals for combating and eradication of piracy
and armed robbery at sea.
