Abstract
The objective of this article is to present strategies to enhance efficiency in sea surveillance and monitoring, focusing on the application of Terahertz wave technology, a cutting-edge technology gaining wide interest in military and security sectors. In the first part of the article, the author discusses the importance of maritime surveillance in today's complex and diverse global context, whether in terms of establishing specialized agencies by each country, fostering international cooperation, or the role of naval forces in patrolling to protect and support maritime activities in both war and peacetime. The author then presents the potential and benefits of using Terahertz wave technology in military applications, highlighting its unique properties such as high frequency, short wavelength, and excellent penetrative abilities, which significantly enhance reconnaissance capabilities for naval forces, leading to more efficient protection against illegal activities or incursions into the territorial waters of other nations. In the concluding part of the article, the author emphasizes the positive impact of applying Terahertz wave technology in maritime surveillance and reconnaissance, aiming to increase efficiency, reduce risks, enhance security, and overall improve the operational capabilities of personnel and equipment in naval forces, which will greatly benefit the maritime industry as a whole. Furthermore, the author views the development of Terahertz wave technology as both a challenge and a significant opportunity that all parties should closely monitor in the future to elevate maritime security and ensure sustainable prosperity. In summary, this article presents intriguing ideas regarding the application of Terahertz wave technology to enhance efficiency in sea surveillance and monitoring, analyzing current challenges and potential benefits, which deserve further study and exploration to develop the potential of maritime security and prosperity sustainably in the future.
