Defence's contribution will focus on efficient command and coordination of cross-Government assets to improve surveillance, detection and interception capabilities. Operation ISOTROPE aims to prevent all uncontrolled arrival of migrants, with all migrant vessels intercepted before, or as, they land, on UK shores.
