Elbit Systems and Windward Team to Introduce Advanced Maritime Surveillance
Solution for India
|
| |
Elbit
Systems Ltd. has teamed with Windward Ltd. to offer integrated maritime
solutions for the Indian authorities. The joint solution combines Windward’s
innovative satellite-based maritime analytics system, MarInt, with Elbit
Systems’ wide range of solutions for maritime domain awareness,
including Hermes® 900 maritime patrol unmanned aircraft systems
(UAS).
The cooperation between the two companies addresses the specific needs
of India and its vast and complex maritime arena and will be demonstrated
for the first time globally at the upcoming Aero-India 2013. The cooperation
makes available a unique system adapted for very large maritime area
monitoring, providing authorities with powerful means to control India's
waters. |

MarInt,
Windward's proprietary satellite-based maritime analytics system, maps
the global maritime activity in unprecedented details, based on data
collected from various sources, such as commercial satellites, open-source
data bases and other sensors. Covering any area of interest, regardless
of the distance from shore, MarInt delivers maritime domain awareness
over littoral or blue water areas, for Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ)
monitoring, fishery control, regional traffic analysis or port traffic
management. After the routine maritime patterns are observed and learned,
the system performs deep behavior analysis on every vessel spotted in
the designated area of interest, in order to detect anomalous and suspicious
behavior.
Operating 24/7, MarInt pinpoints "where is the perpetrator you
didn't even know was there". This further enables tasking of unmanned
assets such as UAS to patrol the designated areas, identify and track
the suspicious vessels, significantly optimizing aerial patrol and increasing
mission effectiveness while reducing cost.

The Maritime
Hermes® 900 is a new configuration of Elbit Systems’ largest
UAS, adapted for maritime operations, carrying selectable mission payload
of up to 350 kg., including maritime surveillance radar, Automatic Identification
System (AIS), an electro-optical multi-sensor payload and electronic
surveillance systems. It has the endurance to cover vast ocean areas,
redundant line-of-sight and satellite communications links and radio
relay, enabling operators to talk to local vessels while flying patrolling
remote sea areas at extended ranges from shore.
Elbit Systems offers a wide variety of systems for maritime security
including maritime patrol UAS, Naval C4I, Command and Control centers,
SIGINT and EW systems, electro optic systems, unmanned vessel systems,
communication solutions and radios, Cyber solutions, and more. |
