Maritime authorities, including coast guards, navies, ports, and others have a growing need for maritime domain awareness to combat illegal fishing, piracy, smuggling and other threats to ocean safety and security.
Accipiter Radar Technologies Inc. and Maerospace Corporation today announced that they have entered into a Co-Operation Agreement to promote the combined capabilities of their respective surveillance products, delivering short, medium, and long-range maritime domain situational awareness.
Accipiter is a recognized leader in the supply of affordable, all-domain situational awareness systems for ports, waterways, airports and critical infrastructure through their Radar Intelligence Network™ (RIN) platform technology, that enables a sensor agnostic approach to detection, tracking and alerting of cooperative and uncooperative targets of concern, in the air, on the water and on land. Maerospace provides an integrated “over-the-horizon” radar and AI analytics platform through their PASE® High Frequency Surface Wave Radar (HFSWR), enabling the persistent surveillance coverage of a nation’s 200 nautical mile Exclusive Economic Zones.
With the combined capabilities of both companies’ solution platforms, customers will be able to dramatically expand their maritime domain awareness coverage for cooperative and uncooperative targets both onshore, near shore and long range, allowing for better real-time situational awareness and decision support for safety, security, and risk mitigation.
“Accipiter is well known for our affordable, sensor agnostic and scalable approach to wide area surveillance,” said Simon Jerome, VP Sales & Marketing at Accipiter. “Teaming with Maerospace will enable customers to benefit from their over-the-horizon maritime domain awareness to compliment our all-domain awareness of critical infrastructure, ports and coastlines.”
“We are delighted to be collaborating with Accipiter”, stated Eric Meger, CEO of Maerospace. “Our PASE® High Frequency Surface Wave Radar (HFSWR) combined with our TimeCaster™ AI-driven analytics solution continuously monitors all vessel-based activity up to 200 NM from shore with continuous coverage of 41,000 square miles. Accipiter’s M3® Target Information System and wide selection of integrated sensors will bring a new dynamic to the overall capabilities that Maerospace can offer.”
