Summary/Abstract: The rhetoric in the last decade of specialists in the field warns against hybrid threats, and by extension, against hybrid, grey areas conflicts – more precisely conflicts consisting of unclear actions in terms of their military character. The narrative on this issue states that this would be the new winning formula in the design and conduct of conflicts by various entities interested in doing so. At present, in the sphere of global security, actors are starting to rethink the strategies in place and develop optimal response measures to what many think is the new way in which at least some of the following conflicts at the regional level and beyond will develop. This study aims to bring into discussion the possibility that hybridity will take over the maritime domain, as well as to discuss the potential effects on maritime security and the need for response from the Naval Forces
