Space-based Maritime Intelligence Solutions
Horizon Technologies’ Amber™ constellation provides subscribers with powerful space-based maritime domain awareness intelligence information. Amber™ detects and defines RF emissions from vessels, such as L-band phones and Iridium communication and tracking devices and maritime radars. The Amber™ constellation provides commercial signals intelligence from these emitters; not merely “RF mapping”.
Our Amber-2 Phoenix Mission is sponsored by the UK Space Agency.

Horizon’s Amber™ SIGINT CubeSat Payload, developed under the UK Government’s IOD-3 Programme, provides non-ITAR data designed for Government and Commercial users. Amber™ does not require tasking, it collects data 24/7 around the globe and provides a large footprint of 2.6% of the Earth’s surface per satellite allowing end users to specify regional, EEZ or even global data sets.
Horizon’s Engineering Partner
Horizon Technologies’ Amber provides space-based maritime domain Intelligence solutions for any user, and any environment.
-
Creation of a commercial dark vessel database
Allows Agencies to identify “dark ships” associations including Sat Phones, Iridium tracking and comms devices and Navigation radar signatures. -
Illegal Operators
Drug smuggling, illegal migrants, ship to ship transfers and illegal fishing rely on Sat Phones to communicate. Amber™ provides near real time data to detect and track their use at sea. -
Illegal immigrant rescue and interdiction
Refugees are often given Sat Phones when they undertake illegal journeys by sea. Amber™ provides real time location of their Sat Phones to agencies to help rescue these people.
Horizon Technologies provides solutions for any user, and any environment.
Our BlackFish™ and legacy FlyingFish™ systems are deployed in the air, on land (vehicle mount), on towers, and on vessels. Even better, they can be networked into a single integrated system for geolocating and monitoring L-band Sat Phone traffic.
Our Amber™ space-based maritime intelligence data network provides geolocations and demodulated data from maritime L-band Sat Phones and datalinks, X and S band maritime radars, and AIS.
