STYRIS^®

Maritime coastal surveillance systems

With increased threats, cross border criminal activities and illegal immigration, effective coastal surveillance demands highly modular, scalable and integrated solutions to enable multi-agency and multi-national coordination.

STYRIS helps to enforce border integrity and maritime sovereignty. It is dedicated to maritime surveillance and traffic monitoring, aimed at improving maritime situational awareness as well as enhancing safety and security at sea.

We have designed STYRIS to align with International conventions and laws that define the duties of states in the maritime domain of their different areas of responsibility (EEZ, Coastal Areas, Ports and Waterways).

Combining surveillance stations with network sharing information, we can support operator decisions and multi-agency coordination providing you with intuitive Command and Control tools to help accelerate your decision-making and stakeholder coordination.

You are able to monitor, supported by automatic alert systems, all vessel movements in your area of responsibility with special attention to vessels entering the area, unidentified vessels, vessels with an abnormal behaviour or vessels in distress.

With STYRIS, you can automatically display vessel information gathered by different sensors and sources of information on screen. Vessels which do not follow procedures, or small/fast moving boats, will require more attention and you can alert patrols for further investigation if deemed as suspicious.

STYRIS can also help you to monitor which patrol units are in the area and allows you to select the ‘best interceptor’ according to a patrol unit’s status, performance (max. speed, endurance) and actual position. The on-board console grants the reception of mission orders and visualisation of live targets position and recommended interception trajectory.

With STYRIS, we support authorities by increasing awareness within territories, providing the maritime intelligence needed to have more secured processes and be more connected than ever before.
