An analysis of the requirements for radar systems for autonomous sea vessels operating in the Arctic regions shows that to ensure the safety of transport and oil and gas facilities, it is necessary to evolution to radar systems with characteristics that significantly exceed the existing classification requirements. The application of ultra-wideband and ultra-short-pulse radars, including those based on the principles of microwave photonics, which will provide a radio-imaging mode and decimetre levels of accuracy when measuring coordinates, as well as observation of small objects, ice conditions and detection of oil spills, is proposed. The use of such radar facilities to ensure high-precision navigation will make it possible to start solving the problem of creating autonomous vessels, provided that the safety of logistics operations in the oil and gas complex is ensured.
