Abstract

This article studies the convenience of implementing the Coast Floating Barrier System as a solution to the terrorism, a potential global threat that has the capacity to make attacks from the sea to the following targets (ships, harbors, port stations, etc.).
This system protects contacts, port facilities and coast stations from any attack from the sea, which consists on a physical containment barrier that provides perimeter security, preventing the entry of any vessel with explosives against a ship or coast station and which has been effectively tested in other countries around the world. For the research, we used the qualitative descriptive study with phenomenological design. Three dimensions had been analyzed: ideological, military and economic. To measure the results, we used the following elements: semi-structured interviews, which resulted in the attention of containment and protection measures by the State and Navy of Peru against activities and attacks by national and international terrorism. The sampling was the police personnel with experience in the field of terrorism and naval personnel with experience in the field of maritime domain. For the investigation, interviews with experts were carried out as an instrument and the validity of the contents was made through the judgment of experts, whose responses were analyzed with the Binomial statistician method.
