Abstract
Critical Infrastructure Protection is a rising issues in today world; considering that most of the population live on coastal area it is not surprising the fact that several of these infrastructures are located within marine scenario. Ports, piping, cables, off-shore and coastal on shore plants are being more and more targeted by asymmetric threats. Employing Autonomous Assets allows to drastically reduce the protection costs but requires to design new solutions. This paper addresses this issues with special attention to off-shore platforms respect the opportunity to improve threat assessment by innovative solutions. Indeed the paper proposes an Agent Driven stochastic simulation for reproducing a combined used of autonomous and traditional assets devoted to identify threats as well as the possibility to use it for training Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) pilots. The authors present the results of the experimental campaign obtained on a test population of unskilled operators to evaluate the possibility to diffuse the use of such approach without requiring very highly qualified expertise.
