NAVSTRAT-2030

Periodic Reviews and Assessments
Conduct comprehensive reviews and assessments of the strategy’s implementation at regular
intervals, involving stakeholders from the Navy and other government agencies. These reviews
identify strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for adaptation and resource allocation
adjustments. Followings are some areas that SLN and SLCG can implement periodic reviews and
assessments;

● Incident Analysis. Analyse maritime incidents, including successes and failures,
to understand the root causes and identify areas for improvement. Then implement
corrective measures based on the lessons learnt from incident analysis.

● Independent Evaluations. Consider engaging an independent expert panel to
conduct periodic evaluations of the NAVSTRAT-2030 to provide an objective
assessment of the strategy’s effectiveness. This mechanism ensures solicit input
from experts, think tanks or international partners to gain external perspectives.

● Training and Capability Assessments. Regularly assess the training
programmes and capabilities of naval personnel to ensure they are adequately
prepared to address emerging threats. Then identify areas where additional training
or technological upgrades are necessary.

● Emergency Response Drills. Conduct regular emergency response drills to
evaluate the SLN and SLCG preparedness for various scenarios such as natural
disasters or security threats.

Data Collection and Reporting
Implement a robust data collection and fusion system to gather and distribution of relevant and
real-time information on maritime activities, incidents and navy operations. Further, regular
reporting on KPIs to relevant stakeholders of SLN, SLCG and government officials are to ensure
adaptation of strategy and accommodating required adjustments.

Geopolitical and Regional Dynamics
Monitor public perception and community engagement efforts related to maritime security. Use
surveys and feedback mechanisms to gauge public awareness and confidence in the SLN’s ability
to address maritime threats. The Navy should implement tools like big data, Power BI, AI, etc. to
extract meaningful insights, hidden patterns, predict future trends and public preferences through
social media like Facebook, TikTok, X, Instagram, WhatsApp etc. to have better prediction of
public awareness and their perception regarding Navy’s efforts.

Compliance with Local and International Laws and Conventions
Needs to ensure ongoing compliance with local and international maritime laws and conventions
regarding the navy’s projects and planning. It is mandated to review legal frameworks and update
them to address any gaps or changes in local and international regulations. Further, the navy should
work in close ties with government agencies and government accepted Non-Governmental
Organizations (NGOs) to have better compliance with local and international laws and
conventions.
