一、新加坡位於東南亞「馬來半島」的南端,面積相當於兩個半的臺北市人口將近500萬,四周環海並且緊鄰麻六甲海域,自從美國911恐怖攻擊後,海盜在該區域出沒頻繁,造成各沿岸國家及航行船隻的困擾。二、新加坡的海軍人數約4,500人,另有海軍警衛隊1,000人,大小作戰艦艇70多艘, 雖然規模不大,但卻是一支擁有高效能和現代化的海上作戰力量。三、新加坡是一個典型的海洋國家,又身為亞洲最大的轉口港,深知各項經貿發展皆有賴於海洋,因此對於維護海上貿易的順暢,不得不嚴加重視。四、本研究針對新加坡如何與馬來西亞、印尼等國家,聯合反制海盜的威脅,除了武器裝備與人員素質以外,另在政策方面如何落實及所遭遇的困難等做探討,期能對我國海軍引發一些思維。
