What would its defensive capabilities be? What would prevent pirates boarding, disabling the radars or engines, and stealing the booty?

It looks like this one will be doing a 30 km coastal run in Norway in the North Sea. I expect the boat will be programmed to give pirates a stern talking to.

The intended route is not one I would choose for an autonomous ship. It's a complicated, twisty route with a lot of little islands to run into. A systems failure will usually run it aground.
