Securing the maritime domain from space

Truth.
Through continuous observation of the Earth.

We provide objective naval intelligence for security, monitoring and optimisation; facilitating decision-making that contributes to resilience, sovereignty and sustainability.

  • Detection of individual vessels using AI

    Dark Vessels

    Utilizing synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) and radio frequency (RF) satellite data, continuous around-the-clock observation of maritime zones is possible. We can detect vessels instantly using our state-of-the-art AI models and by cross-examining with AIS ship data we identify all dark vessels, including those involved in illegal fishing, smuggling, immigration or an adversary's vessel.

  • Marine oil spill detection

    Oil Spills

    Reliable detection of marine oil spills using an extensive SAR satellite constellation. Day and night tracking of small and large spills with actionable data within hours of acquisition, including identification of the source and predicted trajectory. Essential in order to mitigate further environmental and economic harm and for filing claims against maritime polluters.

  • Seaweed disaster at coastlines

    Algae & Sargassum

    Detection of algae or sargassum blooms that affect marine life and tourism using hyperspectral imagery. By measuring the exact spectral profile of the object of interest, a reliable distinction can be made between different but similar types of biomass. This allows us to accurately detect and subsequently track slicks of sargassum, as well as predict which beaches are most affected so that reponse teams are more effective.

  • Container ship tracked by AIS

    Anomalies, Tracking & Assessment

    By analysing real-time information emitted from AIS transceivers, data anomalies are detected and fleet can be tracked. Tracing historic trajectories by cross-referencing with satellite observation, a sanctions profile can be assessed and risks can be identified.

Objective naval intelligence for security, monitoring and optimisation, facilitating decision-making that contributes to resilience and sustainability.

Sectors

  • Potential national security breach by dark vessel

    Defence & Coastguard

    Protecting sovereignty and national fishing stocks by detection all illegal activity such as fishing, undocumented immigration, smuggling and the identification of adversaries. Protecting fish stocks, combating smuggling and identifying the source of oil spills helps to mitigate the issue and recovers national wealth and tax revenue.

  • Port security and fleet tracking for risk assessment and due diligence purposes

    Ports & Shipping

    Due diligence and risk assessment for historic ship data related to sanctioned areas and alerts near piracy detections. We can track fleets and monitor anomalous AIS behaviour, complementing with proof from SAR and RF signals, aiding shipping insurance and oversight.

  • Oil spill detected off Saint Vincent posing a risk

    Oil & Gas

    Detection of oil spills and methane leaks are essential to reduce operation risk as well as compliance with regulation and environmental legislation. We employ SAR and hyperspectral imaging with high temporal and spatial resolution to accurately and quickly identify risks.

  • Identifying potential dangers near water intake for desalination plants

    Desalination & Industry

    Protecting water intake and identifying near hazards is a vital part of reducing operational risks while adhering to production targets. Continuous monitoring from space is the most effective way to gain objective insights about potential problems and allows early mitigation.

Technology

  • SAR imagery

    Military-grade precision and ideal for detecting objects of interest at sea. Available day and night and under all weather conditions, allowing uninterrupted tracking of events.

  • Computer vision AI

    State-of-the-art machine learning models specifically designed for object detection in satellite imagery with no equivalent in speed and accuracy.

  • Hyperspectral imagery

    Unmatched high-resolution spatial and spectral data able to identify the exact spectral profile of for example sargassum, algae, methane, etc.

  • High-performance pipeline

    Using tailor-made software solutions we have optimised image processing and analysis from hours to minutes while avoiding licence and security risks.

  • Global AIS coverage

    Real-time and global tracking of the automatic identification system messages of ships with detailed information as position, course, ownership, etc.

  • RF data

    Access GSM and VHF signal origins using triangulation by sweeping over large areas at a time, allowing detection even of the smallest of boats.
