The Total Awareness Solution for Sea Surveillance

​

Standard navigation radars struggle to detect smaller targets at sea. Search and rescue is especially difficult and delays incurred trying to find people lost overboard are incredibly costly and disruptive, besides potential damage to corporate reputation. Navigating safely amongst many small craft is equally challenging. Their course and speed may have changed completely by the time standard navigation radars have tracked them. In piracy-prone waters, such delays could lead to a life-threatening situation. Heavy rain and high sea states compound the problem. It may not be possible to see buoys coming into port, forcing vessels to wait outside for several hours until the weather has cleared. Even navigating safely in open waters is difficult in such conditions with reduced detection range.
