Report: Small-vessel security to rely on tech tools: article

"Technology will be a key component in reducing the terrorist threat associated with the nation’s 13.2 million recreational and commercial small boats, according to a new strategy for small-vessel security released by the Homeland Security Department."

"Technology is needed for data reporting, analysis and sharing; boat tracking and detection; radiation detection; and surveillance, the report said."

"The report envisions a more detailed risk identification and management strategy to be developed by the department along with the boating community."

"Specific technologies recommended in the report are:

• Low-cost, nonintrusive, small-vessel identification systems, such as radio frequency identification tags.
• Adaptable miniature transponders.
• Global Positioning System devices.
• Cell phone-based recognition systems.
• Anomaly detection instruments.
• Advanced maritime radiation/nuclear detection technology for portable radiation detection equipment, mobile stand-off radiation detectors and fixed detectors."
