Reliable Maritime Surveillance for Safer Oceans
Maritime Surveillance has become a huge challenge, specifically in regions where maritime traffic represents the major economic interest with potential threats or sources of illegal activities such as smuggling, illegal immigration or maritime piracy.
It is crucial for law enforcement, border and security authorities, fisheries management agencies etc to optimise the use of traditional surveillance means such as patrol vessels and aircrafts which are becoming a limited resource for large-scale areas with various activities to be monitored.
With our extensive optical and radar satellite constellation and in-house maritime expertise, we are in a unique position to provide extended remote monitoring services, systems and solutions to the maritime market to improve safety and security of ocean assets.
"Maritime Domain Awareness …the effective understanding of anything associated within the global maritime domain that could impact the security, safety, economy or environment of a Nation."
Our combination of imagery and analytics services provides customers with detailed surveillance information such as:
- Maritime situational awareness
- Ship detection, classification and identification reports
- Route monitoring and fleet management
- AIS correlation through partnership with leading SAT-AIS providers
-
Detect patterns of illegal behaviour at sea such as
illegal fishing , narco-traffic, immigration, piracy - Support for naval forces and aerial operations for the interception of enemy boats
- Maritime pollution monitoring
- Assist with search & rescue activities such as hijacking
- Environmental impacts such as plastic pollution, gulf weed and sea level rises
