The operational vulnerability addressed by Maritime Domain Awareness is the inability, in peacetime competition and in crisis, to maintain a sufficiently complete, timely, and trusted understanding of activity in the maritime domain to enable early warning, deterrence signalling, attribution of hostile acts, and the coordination of defensive responses.

The failure mode is not limited to “seeing” objects at sea.
