Conceptualization of information and communication system development for remotely operated maritime transport in Arctic region

Objective: to develop strategic directions for conceptualizing information and communication systems for remotely operated Arctic maritime transport, with particular emphasis on ensuring information security within contemporary project designs. Methods: analogy and abstraction methods, foresight-technologies, and open-source scanning techniques (OSINT) were applied. Results: prospective directions for information and communication system development tailored to remotely operated Arctic maritime transport have been outlined. The proposals advocate deploying communication signal-relay architectures that sustain connectivity between vessels with external crews and remote control centers under conditions of information threat, while concurrently satisfying information security requirements. Practical significance: the research offers recommendations on applying diverse signal-relay communication architectures.
