About this report
The operational priority of Undersea Infrastructure Security Plans is driven by the rising threat of sabotage and disruption to critical undersea systems – notably seabed fiber-optic cables, energy pipelines, and offshore energy installations – in Europe’s new security environment.
In the wake of Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent Nord Stream pipeline explosions, NATO and EU leaders have come to recognize that undersea infrastructure is both a strategic lifeline and a soft target for hostile interference .
Key questions this report answers
- What is the scope of the undersea infrastructure security threat to seabed cables, pipelines and offshore energy installations?
- How do mission sets, force posture and command-and-control architectures address undersea sabotage in Europe's new security environment?
- Which capability families, technology clusters and industrial actors underpin seabed surveillance and protection?
- What structural bottlenecks and dependencies constrain NATO/EU undersea infrastructure defence after Nord Stream?
