[QUOTE=cajaya;182258]That still doesn’t answer the question about cyber terrorists. I mean I know the ships are designed to be unmanned but what if hackers took control of one of them remotely caused it to run into something such as an LNG carrier? Do northern Europeans think they are above this? I mean look what just happened in Brussels, BRUSSELS, of all places. I mean what did Brussels ever do to anybody? Yes, the U.S. military has drones, but they also have cyber security professionals working around the clock. Is Rolls Royce going to have that?[/QUOTE]
Brussels? Well, “soft target” comes to mind. . . and yeah, I would consider it likely that anyone operating “unmanned” vessels would likely have cyber security in place. . . I still think that placing one or two engineers would be the most likely scenario, though. . . “what can go wrong. . . .” and the like. . .

[QUOTE=cajaya;182285]So, no answer on the security question yet. Have they even thought about it? As this becomes more popular or talked about or even starts…I can see it becoming a target or interest for hackers. I dont know how congested or uncongested the northern European coasts are but I mean in the right set of circumstances I can see it being a pretty bad situation. As in, rogue/hijacked automomous ship hits LNG carrier which blows up passenger ship.[/QUOTE]
I did answer it. . . .and don’t think that you are the only one to think of that. I would imagine that ANY company that would provide this kind of service would likely be looking at cyber security VERY seriously.
