ROMANIAN LITTORAL SURVEILLANCE CAPABILITIES - SECURITY ENHANCEMENT FACTOR AT THE BLACK SEA -

Summary/Abstract: The surveillance system sustains the smooth flow of shipping and coordinates the navy’s action to show the naval presence in the traffic routes of merchant shipping, supporting the decision process made by the Naval Component Command. Surveillance essentially contributes to the achievement of proper situational awareness in the area of responsibility in order to avoid or at least to reduce the risks to misinterpret the ships’ action in the vicinity of territorial waters. The boundless nature of the sea requires a regional, European and even global approach, as far as maritime surveillance is concerned, as opposed to a national one. These actions are carried out by different agencies, and the proper integration and interoperability between them support security in the maritime domain, the main responsibility of the Naval Component Command.
