The US Navy’s Information Warfare Systems Command is spearheading an initiative to enhance connectivity for sailors, whether they are on board ships or stationed ashore.
This new capability, known as Sailor Edge Afloat and Ashore (SEA2), revolutionises how sailors stay connected with the outside world and perform critical duties aboard naval warships.
Historically, sailors deployed for months at a time have faced significant challenges in maintaining communication with friends and family, as well as fulfilling their professional responsibilities, due to unreliable internet connections.
The need for a reliable, high-speed internet connection is crucial for both personal and operational purposes, particularly for securely managing combat, navigation, and communication systems aboard ships.
