Australian broad area maritime surveillance (BAMS): manned and unmanned/ Geoff Slocombe - 2015
Australia's formal search and rescue area covers the nation and 52.8 million square kilometres of the Indian, Pacific and Southern Oceans. At 14.6% of the world's oceans, this huge maritime area is beyond the capabilities of any surface Royal Australian Navy or Border Protection Command craft to conduct adequate surveillance, although their at-sea presence is required to effect rescues, protect borders, control fisheries, and enforce Australian law and quarantine regulations.
