German Navy Fleet Tracker for 2022
With the move into the fourth year of the project, the Institute for Security Policy recently completed the Annual report and the corresponding world map of the German Navy Fleet Tracker for 2022 published. The Fleet Tracker is a research project in cooperation with the German Navy Association and uses publicly accessible information to create a database of the missions and mission-related obligations of the German Navy and the German Coast Guard. These are visualised online with interactive maps. The project is aimed at the interested public as well as researchers, the operators themselves and decision-makers in politics.
Both publications are available online at www.kielseapowerseries.com available for download.
Kiel International Seapower Symposium 2023
On 15.06.2023, the Kiel International Seapower Symposium in the usual atmosphere at the Kieler Kaufmann.
The flagship of the new organisation founded by the ISPK in 2017 Seapower Series once again offered over 90 hand-picked experts from science, international armed forces and politics the opportunity to discuss international maritime security policy challenges and the changing expectations of Germany against the backdrop of the "turning point" proclaimed by Federal Chancellor Scholz.
The four main topics covered included a historical review of the now 175-year tradition of the German Navy for a common orientation of its allied alliance structure, the economic challenges of modern naval forces, the strategic characteristics of medium-sized navies and the broad field of autonomous systems and their future relevance and possible use in the naval forces of the future.
