A technique is proposed to extract system requirements for a maritime area surveillance system, based on an activity recognition framework originally intended for the characterisation, prediction and recognition of intentional actions for threat recognition. To illustrate its utility, a single use case is used in conjunction with the framework to solicit surveillance system requirements.

TLDR
The proposed approach addresses the fundamental problems of sparse and ambiguous indicators of potential or actualized threat activity buried in massive background data and uncertainty in threat capabilities, intent and opportunities.
