The New American Approach to Defense: The FY2003 Program: Notes on Homeland Defense, Counterterrorism, Asymmetric warfare, and Force Transformation
Overview Working with other port entities, the Coast Guard is developing tracking mechanisms for all vessels operating in the maritime domain: within or transiting to U.S. ports and transiting the coastal waters. The heart of this maritime domain awareness program is accurate information, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance of all vessels, cargo, and people extending well beyond the traditional maritime boundaries. Coast Guard forces provide enhanced defenses for critical high- risk vessels and coastal facilities, marine and otherwise (e.g. nuclear power plants, oil refineries).
