Tiivistelmä
The ethics of Maritime Surveillance is a topic of increasing importance in both academia and other forums. This
development owes partially to new legal obligations, such as those set out in EUs new data protection legislation. Also the funders of innovation programs are increasingly expecting projects to pay attention to and address various ethical issues. The ethical challenges involved in the development and piloting of technology-based maritime surveillance solutions are multifaceted from both the research and development perspective, and from the viewpoint of the final solution to be created. The purpose of this paper is to present a framework for a) the identification of ethical, legal and societal aspects in technology innovation projects, and b) the operationalisation of these aspects as concrete requirements. Furthermore, in order to concretise the proposed framework, we discuss the outcomes of ethical analyses of two Horizon2020 maritime surveillance projects, MARISA and RANGER.
