title: DUAL-USE UNMANNED SYSTEMS AS A FACTOR FOR MARITIME SECURITY
abstract: The convergence of civilian and military technologies has made unmanned systems (UxVs) a key enabler of modern maritime security. Their dual-use nature supports applications in surveillance, border control, search and rescue, reconnaissance, and mine countermeasures. This paper explores the integration of unmanned aerial (UAV), surface (USV), and underwater (UUV) systems, emphasizing shared sensor technologies, communication architectures, and interoperability frameworks. It also highlights Euro
