HawkEye 360 has introduced an analytics technology developed to provide naval law enforcement officials with insights into illicit maritime activity in global areas of interest.
The company said Monday the new maritime association analytics capability uses radio frequency signal and automatic identification system geolocations from third-party sources to check if they match and confirm their Maritime Mobile Service Identity numbers.
HawkEye 360 aims to boost maritime domain awareness and flag potential dark ship activities.
Alex Fox, chief growth officer of HawkEye 360, underscored how increasing illicit maritime activities put global security at risk and cost economies billions of dollars.
“HawkEye 360’s unique capability can detect and geolocate dark ship activity across the globe and provide trusted analytics to support enforcement and prosecution associated with these activities,” he added.
The analytics capability is available through HawkEye 360’s Mission Space platform and RFGeo subscription service.
