| | March 20206CIOReviewThere is no denying the fact that technology is the main driver for efficient processes and operations across industries. The navy is also seizing the long-term opportunities that come with leveraging modern and cognitive technologies in the naval tech space.With advanced vessels ranging from patrol boats to multi-purpose frigates and amphibious ships, and a fleet of high-tech helicopters, the navy boasts of technical capabilities that satisfy diverse strategic needs. With such diverse technological capabilities, cybersecurity threats loom large over naval systems. Unlike the popular opinion that cybercrime only consists of data thefts or network spying like the 2012 breach of the Navy-Marine Corps intranet, the vulnerabilities exist wherever computing intersects with the physical world. For the navy ships, critical systems, such as propulsion and navigation ­ even machinery as simple as the elevators ­ can be subjected to attacks from hackers. Also, the GPS can be compromised to change a ship's course, bringing it closer to shore for enemies to attack, or to cause it to run aground.The navy is the sole protector of an exceptionally long coastline, as well as contributing to regional security and international peacekeeping and disaster-relief operations. This calls for a flexible and adaptable naval capability that can shield the ships, submarines, aircraft, weapon systems, and communications against any threats. Along with cybersecurity, technology tools are also being used for high-performance computing, networking, radar and motion sensing, unmanned vehicles, communications to strengthen the naval forces. This edition of the CIOReview highlights the consulting/services companies in the naval tech space who are strengthening the navy with cutting-edge technology solutions. It also blends thought leadership from subject matter experts with real stories on what selected vendors are doing for their clients, including exclusive insights from CIOs and CXOs.Write to us with your thoughts.EditorialThe Threat Landscape and Innovations in the NavyCopyright © 2020 ValleyMedia, Inc.
