vessel identification system - maritime (MVIS)

Maritime Security • Border Security • Homeland Security

Quickly identify detected vessels by harnessing a wide range of available (classified and un-classified) information: AIS, camera (night/day electro-optic), ESM, sonar, communications, visual, third-party intelligence and much more.

MVIS can operate in two configurations:

  • integrated as an enhancement to vessel tracking system or military command and control system

or

  • as part of a stand-alone functional classification software application

MVIS provides automated video and recording surveillance software tools.

MVIS classification concepts are totally applicable to submarine, airborne and surface warfare as well as maritime coastal civil defence and ports security environments.

Maritime (merchant) vessel database is currently available; warship and military vessel database is available on request.

Key Customers and Partners:

  • port authorities
  • customs, immigration and maritime police
  • state and federal law enforcement
  • civil emergency/ disaster management administrations
  • Defence-integrated and standalone operational platforms and agencies
  • intelligence agencies related to home land security departments

Target Users:

  • Defence - submarines, surface vessels and maritime patrol aircraft as stand-alone product or integrated with legacy C3-4 systems
  • shore-based vessel tracking systems, long range surveillance sensor systems (over-the-horizon radar networks) or overhead imagery and various satellite mounted area surveillance sensors
DescriptionPertinent information
  • quickly identifies detected vessels by harnessing a wide range of readily available information: (classified and un-classified) AIS, ESM, Sonar, Communications Camera (day-night-electro-optic), visual, third-party intelligence and much more
  • provides spatial and temporal predictions to forecast vessels in a specified area
  • integrate MVIS with a C3 system and get ability to globally define classification parameters for a detected track and sets classification attributes including vessel name, threat status, vessel type and category, tactical icons and colours

Basic Features:

  • provides candidate classification solution matches by vessel class or an individual vessel to observed classification parameters
  • inputs from ESM, passive and active sonar, visual or third-party derived reports as “observed” classification parameters
  • MVIS architecture provides for volatile or high-security classification information, such as intelligence operator data, and changes of country threat status (hostile, friendly, neutral), as well as exercise threat status for specified duration

Extensions:

  • temporal spatial data source collection, filtering and distribution
  • automated visual recognition
  • client database integration
