The Arctic poses a unique maritime security challenge in which traditional means of demonstrating naval presence may overstretch a fleet significantly committed to security threats in other regions. The United States can and should adopt a presence and maritime security model using non-traditional assets to amplify presence. Using unmanned vessels and aerial vehicles coupled with artificial intelligence software integration, drones, and other emerging technologies will serve as a more effective and efficient security strategy for the United States Navy than traditional platforms to meet our national security goals in the Arctic region. This strategy will enable rapid awareness of developments in the region and is a fiscally feasible means to maintain fair and equitable free trade markets, exercise presence, and maximize unity of effort with partners and allies. The Defense Department and the Navy should adopt the following recommendations to implement this strategy in the Arctic. First, assign an Arctic Fleet Commander with an established area of responsibility and a proportional allotment of resources and assets. Second, field a fleet largely of unmanned vessels and aerial vehicles with artificial intelligence software to patrol the maritime domain while integrating and operating with coalition and allied partners. And third, establish a hybrid fleet command that leverages multi-national partner patrols, technology, and information sharing.
