Technological advancements have played an important role in the development of surveillance systems. Deep seas are known to be very risky areas and there has been need to conduct study and survey in these places. This has really been made possible by the use of modern technology which has been used in making of unmanned surface vessel which are easy to send to far points and gather the necessary information.

They are designed differently which makes them appropriate to be used in the tough oceanic conditions and withstand wave attacks. They are made from light materials which increase their ability to float and shaped in such a way that reduces the friction felt as it sail thus consuming less energy. Advanced mechanisms employed to transform and use tides and solar into energy for propelling have also been used.

The technology of automated remote control systems is been used to operate and run this small water boats. They have enabled navigation to various areas where the data needed can be found. They carry telecommunication instruments that enable them to take videos and sounds or any other unique data they are required to obtain depending on what purposes they have been designed to take. GPS tracking system is also used to show their progression in sailing and the direction they are headed to.

Hubs have been set up from which the operations of the vessels are monitored from. Various professions have been employed in these centers to come up with different soft wares which are installed into these devices. All instructions are given from this points and all the gathered information is transmitted back here for interpretation and storage. The information is later on used for referencing and formulation of strategies regarding sea navigation.

The vessels have been greatly used by the defense forces in safeguarding the international border lines especially on the waters. In the earlier years border patrols which involved sending navy officers using large boats were very risky due to the hazardous sea waves. The development and use of these boats has led to proper surveillance thus making the country safer.

They have also been useful in conducting research and collecting useful information. These vessels are also used by marine companies to collect information about the current weather in the sea and the strength of waves. This has made navigation of ships across the ocean easy and reduced risk of marine accidents resulting from bad weather.

Assailants have been able to use this technology and this has poised great danger to many nations. They have been able to spy on the security structure of other nations which has made it easy for terrorists to get in to the country. This has resulted to increased border porosity resulting to increased terrorist attacks in the country.

Numerous shortcomings have been downsized the level of results expected. Some vessels easily develop technical problems while on their operations. There is also a problem of bad network which may result to total disappearance of these boats and they cannot be traced. The waves may result to the sinking of the vessels.
