Abstract

Different forms of security such as underwater surveillance are becoming much more important in maintaining the safety of the United States of America. Though there has been much progress made in advancing underwater surveillance and technology, there is still a necessity for improvement and innovation. Specialists in underwater surveillance feel that terrorist threats force the United States to seek new ways of heightening security. For instance, Coast Guard Pacific Area Commander, Vice Administrator Harvey Johnson states, "Terrorists are always looking for ways to attack elements of our infrastructure to our economy and our freedom" (Thomas). There have already been innovations that have proven to be extremely beneficial in advancing underwater surveillance. In regards to the underwater inspection system, Petty Officer 2nd Class Jacob Smith, an electronics technician working under the Maritime Safety and Security Team elaborates that "the Coast Guard has been lacking in this area for awhile...Before we had this system, it was all about crews standing about lookout watches. We were really limited as to what we could see. Now, we can see very well in even cloudy or murky water" (Thomas).
