Maritime borders sit at the crossroads of sovereignty, trade, and humanitarian duty. This roundtable brought together senior operational, intelligence, and technology leaders to strengthen maritime security governance and operations.
Participants examined trade-offs for ports, special economic zones, and littorals, focusing on multi-INT mission sections, 24/7 fused watch centers, and planning/policy coordination to ensure intelligence drives action. Technology discussions prioritized sensors, a unified operational picture, edge AI, secure communications, and a common data fabric for lawful, auditable sharing.
