Maritime radar systems, once targeted only in traditional warfare, are now vulnerable to cyber intrusions due to increased digital interconnection. A compromised radar can disrupt navigation, surveillance, and port operations—making cyber resilience a critical priority for coastal nations.
Key protection measures include:
- Hardening radar communication networks
- Deploying real‑time intrusion detection
- Training operators in cyber‑aware procedures
Cyber defence is now inseparable from maritime defence.
