Why this matters:

Why you should care about maritime safety and security; The United States and most industrial-based nations DEPEND on receiving and sending more than 90% of their import/export goods by sea. The maritime cargo industry carries some of the world's DEADLIEST and MOST VALUABLE CARGO (weapons, oil, gas, and chemicals). The industry has always been a target of terrorists, pirates, illicit traders, human smugglers, and drug traffickers. As the maritime cargo industry starts to automate. Surveillance and tracking will become a much-needed resource to stop bad actors, prevent accidents, and preserve global security at sea.
