One solution might be allowing false identities in Marine Traffic aka AIS for navy and coast guard ships. They could claim to be civilian ships of same size. Especially while kayaking in Norway the AIS is essential, as bigger ships do not have any methods to detect kayaks except visual.

- martin_bech 8y agoThat sounds a lot like a war crime. Military cant impersonate civilians, as it would open up to the targeting of civilians. •simulation of civilian status because civilians not taking a direct part in hostilities must be respected and may not be the object of attack (see Rules 1 and 6);[29]
- mcv 8y agoDuring peaceful maneuvers in busy civilian traffic, they should simply be honest about who and what they are. Safety depends on it.
- mjlee 8y agoSpoofing AIS is a common practice. It's not unusual to see a "Warship" on AIS - especially when navigating in crowded areas.
