MMEA To Use C4ISR System Next Year

PUTRAJAYA, Nov 13 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) will use the C4ISR (command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) system from next year.

MMEA director-general Rear Admiral (Maritime) Datuk Mohd Rosli Abdullah said the C4ISR system would complete the agency's operations requirements since it was established on February 15, 2005. 

"This C4ISR system is crucial to ensuring the effective and smooth functioning of the Maritime Operations Centre (POMAR), especially in receiving and analysing information related to maritime threats and criminal activities.

"This is especially so in hotspots bordering national waters as well as coordinating search and rescue operations,” he said in a statement today.

He said the benefits of the system were proven when the agency managed to coordinate operations swiftly and promptly, thus enabling its field officers and personnel to act more efficiently when faced with any situation.

Mohd Rosli said the C4ISR system is expected to be fully operational in February 2035, involving the integration of systems owned by the MMEA in Kedah, Perlis, Johor, Pahang, Sabah, Sarawak, the Subang Maritime Air Station as well as security agencies that have the same system, such as the Malaysian Armed Forces and the Royal Malaysia Police.

He added that the C4ISR has three main systems - Malaysia Coast Guard Maritime Domain Awareness; Malaysia Coast Guard Vessel Tracking and Monitoring; and Malaysia Coast Guard Intelligence Information.
