Abstract
I n general; a country ought to provide a modern security environment containing a broad and evolving set of challenges to the security of her territory and populations. Now, it is globally known that all nations are facing a wide range of potential threats. Such threats could disrupt the finely balanced interdependence of today’s highly globalized economy; one in which 90% of the total volume of goods is moved by sea and where communications cables that carry 95% of the world’s cyberspace traffic lie on the sea-bed. In order to prevent the wide range of current and predicted threats to security interests in the maritime environment, not only some developed countries such as USA, UK, etc. but also some global organisations as NATO conduct many operations and issues namely, supporting maritime situational awareness, maritime surveillance, port protection, upholding freedom of navigation, maritime interdiction operation, fighting with proliferation of Weapon of Mass Destruction, protecting critical infrastructure and supporting maritime counter terrorism. To sum up; there is a general expectation across defence, academia and industry that unmanned aircraft will become more prevalent, eventually taking over most or all of the tasks currently undertaken by manned systems. Especially, the naval operations that is written previously, currently carried out by other means can be more efficiently, reliably and economically carried out using suitable UAV systems. Absolutely; this paper demonstrates and highlights that why and how UAV’s are being used for maritime securtiy and why this matter is important and considerable. When discussing about UAV Systems for maritime security we should remember that many parties need these issues when they are working. Especially decision makers and their assistants need to know what is happening in the field. This is one of the components how to do it and why we need it.
