BLUF

Hidden weapons inside commercial shipping blur lines between trade and conflict. A hybrid inspection model using civilian platforms and state authority offers a practical way to manage risk early and limit escalation before open confrontation.

Learning Outcomes

  • Understand how civilian systems can be leveraged to create strategic and operational risk.
  • Assess why legal preparation and partnerships matter before a crisis begins.
  • Apply lessons on scalable responses when resources are limited and threats are ambiguous.
