| Summary / Abstract (Note) | In the modern day naval warfare, undersea threats pose major challenges for any navy’s blue water aspirations. The underwater threats can be at harbour as well as on high seas. At a harbour, the major threats are in the form of terrorist attacks using divers for boarding the vessels with explosives or to attach explosives to a vessel’s hull; mines at strategic locations which can be deployed using divers or remotely operated vehicles (ROVs); using underwater vehicles laden with explosives to collide with ships. As far as high seas are concerned, the threats are usually known/well studied and include underwater offensives which can be launched from any submarine, surface, or air platforms. In order to be a dominant force in the seas, the navies must be prepared for any eventuality, both at harbour and high seas. |
