Deterrent for Piracy on the High Seas?

Why can't the International Community sponsor satellite technology to monitor shipping activity in the Gulf of Aden and alert military forces stationed within air strike distance when threats appear imminent ?

I think the answer is arming ships and/or putting trained troops or guards like some private contractors like Blackwater or similar on the ships. In addition, there should be air patrols by plane and helicopter with a designated free fire zone-if your small boat approaches the shipping lanes it will automatically be considered hostile and blown out of the water. |

Keep it Real!!

Well these boats are only 20 or 25 ft in length or are speed boats and the satellite in most cases can not track any thing with out a receiver too pin point its area!
The USA Did the right thing by using Deadly force because these men only seek money and adventually will turn too killing there hostages anyways! To make men like these Understand there actions are brutal takes just as much brutality as well!
At least The USA has the balls too carry it out and the world isnt held captive by a bunch of criminal thugs! I say they should strike them in there houses too! Just maybe they will quit and find some real Honest work! |

Currently, such technology is not available to the extent necessary to cover the sea lanes affected. At some point, merchant ships will be resorting to arming themselves to repel pirates |

There is as much as one million square miles of ocean. War ships can move at about 18 miles per hour. Satellite and radar cannot tell if a ship is a pirate ship, just by looking at it. Inflatables and runabouts are not metal and generally do not show up, even on a ship's radar.
I think the answer is to mount 50 caliber machine guns on the freighters. If a boat approaches, the first shot is over the bow. |

It would be too late anyway. The pirates approach rapidly. It's no different from someone attacking you on the street. You are your only defense. The ships must be prepared to fight them, just as you must be.
All forces are response forces, after the fact. What actions they take will always be retaliatory. Preemptive in this case would be to wipe out the pirates home bases. That requires accepting the slaughter of relatively innocent people along with them. |
