The participants stressed, in the session held in the American capital, Washington, with the participation of a group of former military leaders and experts in the fields of defense and marine technology, that marine deterrence in the twenty -first century is no longer dependent on the size of the fleet, but rather the number, speed and ability to spread smart, noting that unmanned technologies have become a basic pillar in protecting marine corridors and facing increasing threats.
