Helping you improve safety and security at sea
Our combination of systems, imagery and data, and digital services provides customers with a clear picture of the Maritime domain to support intelligence missions such as:
Making our oceans safer
2:13
- Detection of patterns of illegal behaviour at sea such as illegal fishing, narco-traffic, smuggling, immigration, piracy
- Ship detection, classification and identification (for cooperative and non-cooperative vessels)
- Support for naval forces and aerial operations for the interception of enemy boats, to optimise the use of traditional surveillance means (such as patrol vessels and aircrafts)
- Monitoring of traffic rules and restricted areas
- Navigational assistance
- Fleet management
- Assistance to search and rescue activities such as in case of hijacking
- Maritime pollution monitoring such as plastic pollution, oil spills and gulf weed
- Environmental management such as protected areas monitoring
Discover our Maritime systems and services
Thanks to our in-house, legacy Maritime expertise and extensive satellite constellation, we are in a unique position to provide real-time and non real-time remote monitoring services, systems and solutions for improved maritime situational awareness in territorial waters or Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ).
STYRIS®
STYRIS® integrates the broadest range of maritime sensors (radars, cameras, AIS, ...) to deliver a real-time, recognised maritime picture that can support activities linked to Coastal Surveillance Systems (CSS), Vessel Tracking Services (VTS) and Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP).
I4D - Intelligence for decision
Our I4D product is a powerful set of solutions for geospatial analysis of multi-source data and intelligence report production.
Imagery and Data
Airbus plays a crucial role in monitoring maritime activities for governments, coast guards, and environmental agencies by delivering multi-sensor, multi-source, and multi-resolution data. We provide access to a large constellation, which comprises optical sensors ranging from the most precise Very High Resolution to large-scale ones and Radar sensors. Radio-Frequency (RF) data is also distributed with HawkEye 360.
Maritime domain awareness services
Satellites provide the ideal tools to remotely extend maritime surveillance capabilities from coastal areas to open seas. With expertise in big data, analytics and predictive analysis, Airbus is able to support improved surveillance capacities by providing automated reports or value-added analysis by our team of experts.
What our customers say
Our solutions are recommended by governmental and non-governmental entities as well as industry experts
Thanks to Airbus’ Maritime services, service allowed us we were able to identify the location of the capsized Maxi Banque Populaire IX which was missing off the Portuguese coast during the Route du Rhum nautical race in November 2018
Ronan Lucas
Team Director
Coordination with the Airbus Tasking Team was a key factor in the success of our project, which combined programming, algorithms and navigation. This experience makes it possible to consider many new ways of improving the detection of offshore plastic.
Bruno Sainte Rose
Fluid Mechanic Expert
Ensuring an informed vision of maritime activities in real-time throughout the national metropolitan territory is a technological prowess. We value the strong relationship that we have established over the years with Airbus and we count on Airbus team to continuously integrate technological advances to maintain our position at the cutting edge of innovation in the field of Maritime surveillance. Improved and new capabilities will allow us to face new and bigger terms of protecting our maritime borders and perform coastal surveillance missions.
