Publisher's Synopsis
Welcome to the world of the Blue Arctic! Through this book, you will be taken on a journey of discovery into one of Earth's most remote and fascinating regions.The US Navy has been increasing its presence in Arctic waters over the past few years, with an eye towards promoting peace and protecting our interests throughout the region. The Navy is engaging in interoperability exercises and drills with allies and partners across both land and sea, all with a singular purpose - to ensure safety and security for all involved.The author for this work - the US Department of the Navy - is perfectly suited to tell such a tale: they are experts in both maritime affairs and Arctic operations as well as renowned global policymakers. This gives them unique insight into how best these ocean areas can be utilized by our nation's armed forces while still protecting endangered areas from climate change.From underwater submarines to advanced satellite surveillance systems, readers will get an insider's glimpse into how today's technologies can push us ever closer to understanding what lies beneath these icy outposts. Meanwhile, we learn about current events related to international relations occurring above water - such as increased tension with Russia - that are just as vital when it comes to ensuring everyone remains safe while exploring new horizons.Discovering the strategic maneuverings around the Earth's Seventh Sea should not only create excitement but also consider the issue more broadly-what other new strategic theatres will open up in the remainder of the 21st Century? Space; the Moon; the deep sea and seabed; "climate migration zones"; AI versusAI conflicts? In each case, nations must rally resources and resolve to meet new challenges, as the US is doing in this document.Jellicoe [AI]
