Security

The exactAIS® service supports national security initiatives through a number of targeted applications:

  • Sovereignty through surveillance capability
  • Mission planning for air and surface assets
  • Integration with coastal monitoring sensors
  • Detection of suspicious movement /false AIS information

This in turn, helps security organisations to:

  • Filter out “friendly” ships
  • Dispatch surveillance assets when anomalies occur
  • Reduce the need for routine patrol missions
  • Determine the variance in reported versus actual position
  • Locate and investigate suspicious movements at sea
  • Identify when reporting equipment is turned off
  • Improve operational efficiency

Benefits

The added security benefits that exactAIS provides include: 

Enhanced Detection and Identification Capability

  • Global Coverage with Rapid Refresh Rate (90 - 100 minutes)
  • Location and Identification simultaneously achieved
  • Data anomaly – location, ID, speed rapidly detected and flagged

 Improved Operational Efficiency

  • Provides wide area search solution
  • Enables cost effective use of high value tracking assets – MPA (Maritime Patrol Asset), surface and sub-surface vessels

Reduction in Monitoring Infrastructure

  • Optimum use of shore based sensors
  • Reduces need for coastal AIS infrastructure in remote regions
Our Demonstration site, ShipMaps, illustrates the many different uses of Satellite AIS and its applications.
