Maritime surveillance requires sensors that can detect, recognize and identify vessels by different means. Traditional sensors include radar, electro-optic cameras, and AIS, these are located at appropriate locations and the sensors are combined to form an integrated picture of the surveillance area. Sometimes there are gaps between sensors and the area to be monitored, particularly when monitoring a country’s entire EEZ.
Today, there are new technologies and sensors that help fill these gaps, these include :
Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning
This technology is particularly useful to analyse vast amounts of data, which works very well with satellite AIS to reveal behaviours such as illegal fishing, ship to ship transfers, when vessels go dark, loitering etc.
Radar ESM
Radar ESM is a passive technology which just receives the information from ships radars and analyses this to fingerprint each unique radar signature. This is useful as radar targets can normally only be tracked for a short distance and if the same vessel comes back to the same location, it cannot be recognized. Radar ESM allows a vessel to be tracked and identified.
Satellite RF
This technology is based on satellites that circle the globe. These carry sensors to locate and identify vessel-based equipment such as SatPhones, navigation radars and other equipment. We integrate appropriate technologies together to provide a complete maritime monitoring system.
Radar
With over 1000 installations worldwide and trusted by the US Coast Guard as well as Military, Navies, Coast Guards, VTS operators and offshore platforms around the world, SSR’s modular surveillance products form the backbone of any Maritime Surveillance system, from single surveillance sites to National Maritime Security Systems. Comprehensive real time monitoring and management of the maritime domain is critical for government stakeholders. Start Point Systems provide a range of sensors and...

Radar ESM Intelligence
The ability to capture and fingerprint in real-time, every radar transmission in the area is important in providing enhanced situational awareness to protect Maritime borders and help identify illegal vessels. This new Radar ESM is a cost-effective addition to maritime surveillance that allows maritime targets not transmitting AIS to be persistently tracked and even identified. A passive electronic sensor, it can be operated from fixed surveillance towers, patrol vessels and drones, it identifies all radar...

EO Cameras
We supply a range of advanced and highly modular surveillance camera platforms, designed to meet the harsh conditions required for maritime surveillance. By combining the latest industry-leading daylight video and thermal technology, the cameras deliver precise reconnaissance of small targets, at short to ultra-long ranges and in challenging environments. Thermal cameras are non-ITAR and use the latest high resolution (HD) and high sensitivity thermal technology and include advanced video processing for the clearest...

AIS Intelligence
Multiple data streams and Artificial Intelligence help nations tackle complex maritime challenges, ranging from risk assessment of arriving vessels to uncovering non-reporting ‘dark’ vessels and detecting ship-to-ship transfers. Maritime analysts can identify Targets of Interest entering your EEZ, highlight suspicious and potential illegal vessel behaviour, generate alerts and collaborate with colleagues and other agencies for focussed and effective enforcement and compliance actions...

Satellite RF Intelligence
The latest technologies are on space-based satellites, these providing a huge benefit of covering much larger areas than is possible with ground surveillance sensors and include. Monitoring RF emissions from vessels navigation radars, communications equipment including sat phones, AIS and VHF transmissions. Optical Cameras – including multispectral and hyperspectral. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), these are not affected by clouds or darkness. Radars on vessels (and other sources) transmit sequences...

Sat Phone Intelligence
Illegal operators try to avoid detection of their activities, location and communications. There are no GSM networks at sea, so Sat Phones are widely used for maritime communications. Sat phone intercept technology has been highly successful in helping eliminate piracy in Somalia, where pirate skiffs were difficult to detect by radar, so government agencies turned to Sat Phone interception to accurately geolocate pirate vessel positions and then alert patrolling forces. Sat Phone Intercept is a technology...
