The NATO Science and Technology Organization Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (STO-CMRE) is organizing a workshop to present and discuss advanced technologies, innovative concepts, and emerging scientific challenges with respect to current and future Maritime Situational Awareness (MSA) operational needs. MSAW 2019 foresees productive collaboration and synergistic discussion among MSA specialists from technical and non-technical areas.

With the theme "Science and technology meet operational needs", MSAW 2019 will encourage engagement with operational experts and scientists from national governments, military, academia and industry to discuss their respective challenges regarding MSA. The objective of MSAW 2019 is to foster the cross-fertilization of ideas from scientific and military domains, toward the design and implementation of future solutions tailored to MSA operational needs.

Papers are solicited from operational experts and scientists from national governments, military, academia and industry in topics including but are not limited to:
