Ukraine struck a submarine in harbour using an unmanned underwater drone. The attack shows how ports and fixed assets are exposed. Innovation now shapes maritime risk and rewards those who adapt faster.

Learning Outcomes

  • Understand how uncrewed underwater systems change assumptions about port and base security.
  • Recognise why static platforms face growing risk from low-cost, asymmetric methods.
  • Apply lessons on adaptability and layered defence to protect critical infrastructure.
