the vessels the somali pirates use rely on GPS to track the big ships so yes they can be identified. The idea is brilliant but who will buy into it? There is talk of a joint navy to patrol the indian ocean esp the gulf of aden so there is the will to stamp out piracy....

You see its of the best interest for US to have war in Somalia they must be taking OIL while these guys are busy fighting, and hence with no Gava in Somalia definitely Piracy will Flourish and if they were really serious US have the best Machinery to sweep them clean

...I hear that the Pirates of The Somalian have very sophisticated equipment and weapons and they also use very fast boats...I believe they are rich enough to afford all this:-)
On the other hand, I believe the US can still track them live using their satellites or they can even send a drone...my question is why they do not do it...?

At any one time it is possible to know which legit vessels are on the
sea
Actually, the pirates are probably using technology to know what to target. I doubt they set out on hit&miss missions covering thousands of square miles of sea. Question is, if you were to get the data in realtime, how do you determine what's legit and what's not?
