Описание: Deepwater Perils: Securing Trade Through Red Zones

Threats emanating from state and non-state actors are increasingly conflated, with both employing similar tactics and strategies. This shift raises critical questions about the preparedness of armed forces, the evolution of defence architectures, and the adaptation of military doctrines. Nations must determine how to respond to sub-sovereign provocations without escalating conflicts beyond their control. This panel will examine the shifting nature of maritime threats, risks for global security and trade, and the evolving responses required to safeguard vital trade routes.

With non-state and quasi-state actors often employing asymmetric tactics, are current naval doctrines and technologies truly adequate to counter these unconventional threats?
With the emergence of 'dark fleets' operating outside regulatory frameworks, what collaborative measures can nations take to improve transparency and accountability in maritime trade?
With the rapid advancement of defence technologies, how are combat forces integrating innovations such as artificial intelligence, unmanned systems, and cyber capabilities into military preparedness?
Are current alliances and force deployments sufficient to guarantee freedom of navigation and trade?
