Naval forces globally are undergoing significant transformations to address a rapidly changing landscape of threats, which now encompass uncrewed systems, advanced anti-ship weapons, cyber attacks, and electronic warfare, as well as emerging challenges from the seabed. As potential adversaries enhance their capabilities, it has become essential for navies to adapt both physically and conceptually to maintain their operational superiority across all maritime domains, including underwater environments. This evolution is driven by the necessity to counteract the sophisticated tactics employed by peer and near-peer nations, ensuring that naval operations remain effective and resilient in the face of modern warfare complexities.

Navy leaders have unveiled a new initiative called Seabed Defence, aimed at addressing the rapidly evolving underwater battlespace. This development comes in response to the increasing reliance on critical undersea infrastructure (CUI) in an interconnected world. As maritime dynamics shift, the Navy recognizes the urgent need to enhance its capabilities to protect vital underwater assets. The introduction of Seabed Defence reflects a strategic move to adapt to these changes and ensure the security of essential maritime infrastructure.
