SIGINT for Counter Piracy and Illegal Fishing control
Illegal fishing fleets coordinate their activities use Sat Phones and Pirates call mother ships and their network for targeting ships of interest.
Pirates call Mother Ships and sources in Europe to ascertain value of targeted ships. Illegal fishing fleets coordinate their activities use Sat Phones.
Aircraft with FlyingFish™ have been a successful tool to reducing piracy and controlling illegal fishing.
Horizon Technologies’ systems were used as an alternative to radar which can’t easily see small vessels and simply by observing Sat Phone locations which had no AIS transmission, identify vessels potential engaged in illegal activities.
Aircraft with FlyingFish™ and BlackFish™ are proven solutions to identifying illegal operators. BlackFishX will provide UAV’s with the same capability. With the Amber™ space constellation, illegal vessels operating in remote ocean regions can be identified and added to Air and Terrestrial monitoring systems.
