International naval forces strive to ensure safety in regions known for high levels of piracy. However, the scale of the pirate menace often taxes these forces' capabilities, pushing ships navigating treacherous waters to bolster their own defensive measures.
A comprehensive approach to maritime piracy includes early threat identification, innovative technologies, physical barriers, non-lethal deterrents, and international collaboration.
Cutting-edge radar systems like the Kelvin Hughes SharpEye SxV enhance situational awareness, acting as early detection for potential threats.
The employment of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), such as the Schiebel CAMCOPTER S-100, for surveillance and reconnaissance further strengthens a vessel's defenses.
AI-powered platforms like Windward's also play a crucial role by analyzing maritime data to foresee possible pirate activities.
Non-lethal deterrents like the Unifire Force 50 and Force 80 Anti-Pirate Water Cannons can effectively repel pirate vessels, while devices like the LRAD 1000Xi and 500X-RE offer targeted, long-range (up to 9,842 feet or 3,000 meters) deterrence that doesn't harm the crew of the ship using it.
