Dark Ships Can't Hide From Undersea Internet Cables
Rogue vessels that run dark go off-grid specifically so nobody can track them. Expensive, specialized detection has been the only option.
A new automated system flips the script: it uses existing underwater internet cables as passive sensors. No new infrastructure. No giant budget. The cables are already there.
Repurposing undersea internet cables to passively detect dark ships is a genuinely clever end-run around one of maritime surveillance's most expensive problems.
