SIGINT for Dark Target tracking and identification
Vessels are tracked around the world using their AIS transponders. Illegal operators turn off their AIS transponders or ‘spoof’ their location.
Other ways to track maritime traffic is by their RF emissions; communications, tracking devices and their navigation radars. Even when AIS transponders are turned off or transmit incorrect location data, vessels can either be tracked by our coastal, aircraft and satellite sensors.
Using Amber™ data, government agencies and fleet operators can track vessels with their AIS turned off, through their L-band communications and maritime radars.
Amber™ data will allow companies and governments to geolocate and track vessels in near real time.
In addition, any Sat Phone calls at sea from vessels without AIS can be used to highlight possible illegal activity.
