Littoral Warfare – Thematic Research
The littoral warfare environment encompasses the maritime, air, land, space, and cyber domains as well as the information space and in that regard, also all associated opposing, friendly, and neutral systems (political, military, economic, social, informational, infrastructure, legal, and others). Artificial Intelligence is one of the major trends for the littoral wafare. Littoral warfare is also characterized by ‘speed’: speed of data exchange and picture compilation, speed of command and control, speed of reaction. In order to be faster than an adversary and also to maintain the initiative, ‘speed’ must remain key requirement in future military campaigns, particularly those involving littoral warfare. This will be achieved through knowledge, decision, and technological superiority. In the near future, AI will likely continue to be context-specific, restricted to certain types of problems.
Maritime power is substantiated by the ability of an actor to gain control over sea areas of his interest (surface, subsurface, airspace) associated to the freedom of movement as well as action within these areas, and concurrently to exert diplomatic, economic, and military influence at a time and place of his choice. Maritime power has traditionally been employed globally to maintain the freedom of navigation as an essential foundation for the economic prosperity and overall welfare of states; conversely it has been regularly used to disrupt the Sea Lines of Communications of an opponent.
Scope
The main trends in the littoral warfare over the next 12 to 24 months are highlighted. We classify these trends into three categories: technology trends, regulatory trends, and macroeconomic trends.
The report includes an insightful industry analysis of the littoral warfare and key use cases highlighting how armed forces around the world have started working on the development and implementation of the technology.
This report is part of our ecosystem of thematic investment research reports, supported by our “thematic engine”.
Key Highlights
Littoral warfare requires a wide range platforms and forces including surface, subsurface, and airborne platforms optimally suited for operations in littoral waters, ideally light frigates, multipurpose corvettes, fast attack crafts (FACs), diesel electric Submarines (SSKs) fitted with air-independent propulsion (AIP), shipborne/land-based multipurpose helicopters, surface mine-countermeasures ships, unmanned vehicles, and special operations force (SOF) teams. It therefore includes a great range of defense products.
Future conflicts in the littoral would be characterized by short notice, rapid escalation, limited duration, and high intensity leading to increased mortality as well as danger of collateral damages; all this taking place simultaneously or consecutively and being conducted in the way of conventional warfighting.
Littoral waters offer many more natural and geographic challenges to both attackers and defenders which enable them to exploit surprise, including the use of mines and swarming tactics (swarm tactics that combine speed, mass, coordinated maneuver, low radar signature, and concealment), than do deep ocean waters.
Reasons to Buy
Our thematic investment research product, supported by our thematic engine, is aimed at senior (C-Suite) executives in the corporate world as well as institutional investors.
• Corporations: Helps CEOs in all industries understand the disruptive threats to their competitive landscape

GlobalData Analytics and visualisation solutions has contributed positively when preparing management presentations and strategic papers.”
“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”
Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.
Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.
