open sea operations
Open sea operations refer to maritime activities conducted in the vast, unbounded areas of the ocean outside national waters. These include shipping, naval exercises, resource exploration, and maritime security activities, all aimed at ensuring safe navigation, economic interests, and national defense. Such operations require careful planning and coordination due to the challenges of deep water navigation, environmental conditions, and international regulations. They are essential for global trade, security, and the responsible management of ocean resources, often involving advanced technology and international cooperation to operate effectively and safely in these remote and unpredictable environments.
