Weaponising Trust at Sea: AI-Enabled Multi-Vector Deception in Maritime Search and Rescue

Abstract:

Despite growing concern about cognitive warfare targeting critical infrastructure, maritime Search and Rescue (SAR) operations have received little systematic attention as potential targets, despite being life-saving activities, constantly happening around the globe, and involving efforts from both militaries, coast guards, and NGOs. This paper presents a disruption model based on the International Aeronautical and Maritime Search and Rescue (IAMSAR) Manual—employing Observe, Orient, Decide, Act (OODA) loop phases as analytical lenses—for understanding how AI-generated deception threatens maritime SAR effectiveness.
