Flagship productMaritime SecurityPilot-ready

The sea produces more than any watch can read. We show the few contacts that matter, with the evidence attached.

Maritime security software that fuses radar, cooperative reporting and electro-optical observation into one operating picture, raises only what warrants a decision, and leaves the judgment, and the record of it, with the person accountable.

Why the demand exists
01

Sources do not agree

Radar, cooperative reporting and imagery describe the same hull differently, and reconciling them is still largely done by hand.

02

Volume beats attention

No operator can sustain review across every track, so prioritisation has to be defensible rather than arbitrary.

03

Evidence has to survive handover

When the watch changes, the context is lost unless the reasoning travels with the track.

04

Integration, not replacement

Authorities already own their sensors and systems. The product has to sit alongside them.

What the product does

Six capabilities. Each one answerable to the watch that uses it.

Every capability below exists to change what an operator does with the next contact, not merely what they know about it. They are described as they work, with the reasoning each one leaves behind.

01Multi-source fusion

One hull, one track, whatever the sensor.

Radar returns, cooperative reporting and electro-optical imagery each describe a vessel in their own vocabulary, and today the reconciliation is done by hand. The product correlates them into a single, continuously maintained track, so the watch reads one account of the coastline rather than three that disagree.

  • Cooperative and non-cooperative sources correlated into one picture
  • Track continuity held through reporting gaps and sensor handoffs
  • Every contribution to a track kept, attributed and open to inspection

02Behaviour and identity analytics

Identity is what a vessel does, not what it declares.

Self-reported identity is an assertion. Behaviour is evidence. The product reads speed, course, loitering, rendezvous and the pattern of a hull over time, and holds each against what a vessel of its declared type, route and destination would ordinarily do.

  • Behavioural baselines by vessel class, route and season
  • Anomalies scored against expectation, not a fixed threshold
  • Declared identity tested against observed conduct

03Mission areas and watchlists

Attention is finite. Direct it where the mandate is.

An authority's obligations are specific: a lane to protect, an installation to guard, a list of hulls to follow. The product turns those obligations into standing areas of interest and watchlists, so the picture is organised around what the institution is answerable for.

  • Geofenced mission areas with entry, exit and dwell rules
  • Watchlists with provenance, review dates and ownership
  • Priorities set by mandate and adjustable by the watch

04Competing explanations

A conclusion is only as good as the alternatives it survived.

When a track goes dark near a protected lane there is more than one explanation. The product keeps them side by side, with the evidence for and against each, and records which one the analyst accepted and why. The reasoning becomes part of the record rather than a memory.

  • Hypotheses ranked, with the evidence attributed to each
  • Analyst judgment recorded alongside the alternatives considered
  • Confidence expressed and contradiction preserved, not averaged away

05Historical replay and reporting

What happened is a question the system should answer.

After an incident, the enquiry begins. The product replays the picture as the watch saw it, minute by minute, with the alerts raised, the actions taken and the evidence available at the time. The report is produced from the record, not from recollection.

  • Full-picture replay at any past moment
  • Timeline of alerts, reviews, handovers and overrides
  • Reports assembled from the audit trail, ready for review

06Interoperable track and event APIs

It joins the estate the authority already owns.

Sensors, command systems and vessel traffic services are already installed and already paid for. The product publishes tracks and events over open interfaces and consumes the feeds already in place, so it strengthens the existing architecture rather than asking anyone to replace it.

  • Standards-based track and event exchange
  • Deployment from the coastal edge to the control room
  • Roles, audit and retention aligned to institutional policy

From sensor to decision

A detection is not yet an alert. An alert is not yet a decision.

The distance between them is where most of the work, and most of the failure, sits. The product moves every contact through four stages, and leaves a record at each.

  1. 01

    Observe

    Radar, cooperative reporting, electro-optical feeds and registries arrive as they are, in their own formats and on their own clocks.

  2. 02

    Correlate

    Observations that describe the same hull are joined into one track, with each source's contribution attributed and retained.

  3. 03

    Qualify

    Behaviour is measured against expectation and mandate. Only what warrants a decision is raised, and it arrives with its reasoning.

  4. 04

    Decide

    The watch reviews, investigates or dismisses. The judgment, the alternatives and the outcome are recorded for the next watch and the enquiry after.

The operating problem

The signal that mattered is usually found afterwards, scattered across tracks, sensors, registries and manual work that were never meant to be read together.

What the product produces

A prioritised picture that carries its reasoning with it, so a watch can move from detection to investigation, and hand over to the next watch, without the evidence thinning at each step.

Where the consequences are real

A coastline produces far more observation than any watch can absorb, and the cost of a connection not drawn is counted in incidents, not in tickets.

The obligation, for the authority and for the software it relies on, is to make the few things that matter visible among the many that do not, and to be able to show afterwards why they were raised.

Built for

Four institutions, one obligation to see clearly and answer for it.

Maritime authorities

Coastal surveillance, exclusive economic zone enforcement and the coordination of a response across agencies.

Ports and terminals

Approach monitoring, berth and anchorage security, and a defensible record of every vessel movement.

Offshore operators

Standoff protection for platforms, wind arrays and subsea assets, with early warning of an approach that does not fit.

Systems integrators

A fusion and evidence layer that sits alongside the sensors and command systems already delivered to the customer.

Where it stands

What is built, what a pilot adds, and how it will be judged.

People who evaluate systems for a living discount a page that has only upside. This one states the position plainly, because a pilot conversation goes faster when it starts from the truth.

Built and demonstrable
  • Working track fusion and prioritisation over representative scenarios
  • Operator console with evidence, timeline, and analyst review states
  • Event and track APIs for downstream integration
What the pilot adds
  • Planned pilot milestone: connect to the authority’s operational sensor feeds
  • Planned pilot preparation: security assessment, certification and accreditation aligned with the authority’s requirements
Pilot scorecard
  • Detection to triage timeHow long from first observation to a watch decision.
  • Warning horizonHow far ahead of the event the picture raised it.
  • Precision at KOf the top contacts raised, how many warranted the attention.

Agreed with the authority before testing begins, so the standard cannot move once the results arrive.

How we work

Judgment is the product. Software is how it reaches more people.

Every product begins with a single recurring decision, works alongside the systems already in place, and earns its expansion through results an operator can verify. Nothing here scales on the strength of a demonstration.

01

Begin with a decision

What will the operator do differently?

Every product starts with one recurring decision that matters, where better evidence changes what a person does, not merely what they know. Software that changes no decision is a report. We are not in the business of reports.

02

Respect what is already there

Does it work with what the institution already owns?

Institutions have spent years, and a great deal of money, on sensors, cameras, feeds and control rooms. Our responsibility is to add to that inheritance, not to ask anyone to set it aside on our account.

03

Be answerable

Can every judgment be examined afterwards?

Confidence, source, review, override and outcome remain connected, so the system improves without uncertainty being quietly set aside. A system that cannot be audited has no claim on decisions of consequence.

04

Earn the right to grow

Has it proved enough to deserve more?

We begin narrow, measure honestly, and widen scope only when the product has shown its worth in operation. Growth that runs ahead of evidence is a claim, not a result.

A common foundation

One architecture for evidence, proven first at sea.

Data ingestion, event handling, confidence and contradiction, operator workflow, audit, observability and controlled deployment are shared across the portfolio. What is particular to each field stays particular.

Commercial discipline

Start narrow. Prove the value. Expand on evidence.

Beachhead: One urgent workflow and one accountable buyer

Pilot: Representative data and a scorecard agreed in advance

Expansion: More sites, sources, modules or users, as the evidence warrants

Commercial terms: Priced to the value actually created

The pilot

The smallest proof that would change your mind.

A pilot is not a demonstration. It runs on representative data, with the people who will live with the result, and it is judged against a baseline agreed before the work begins, including the result that would tell us we were wrong.

01

Agree on what must improve

Name the operator, the present failure, the data that actually exists, the baseline, and the decision that has to get better. Ambiguity at this stage is the most expensive thing in the engagement.

02

Connect to the real thing

Integrate representative feeds and the systems already in use, set the operating rules, and fix the scorecard before testing begins, so that the standard cannot move once the results arrive.

03

Run it with the people who will own it

Work through realistic scenarios. Keep the misses and the overrides, not only the highlights, and compare the quality and speed of response with the baseline agreed at the start.

04

Scale only what the evidence supports

Turn measured results into a deployment plan, a support model, an integration scope and commercial terms that reflect the value actually created.

Work with us

Show us the watch floor that still depends on manual triage.

We work with maritime authorities, ports, offshore operators and systems integrators on bounded engagements with a defined end, and with utilities, industrial sites and financial institutions on the products that follow. If the evidence does not support going further, that is a useful result, and we will say so plainly.
