Abstract
Harbors can be considered one of the most appealing targets for terrorist threats. Considering that small ships or swimming commandos cannot be easily tracked by on-ground surveillance and that on-site surveillance, by means of manned ships, is quite expensive and difficult to conceal from enemy eyes, the interest in Unmanned Sea Vehicles (USVs) is quite clear. USVs may be one or two meters long, equipped with proper surveillance sensors. If state-of-the-art technology is taken into account, USVs can also be thought of as low-cost vehicles. The paper presents a system low-cost solution and it highlights the usefulness of tools like Comparative Risk Analysis (CRA), Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA), and simulation techniques.
