| Overview: | SEASEARCH. Market analysis has demonstrated that there is a real need and so a promising market for a unique solution offering exceptional performance for detecting and tracking of small vessels, that are not equipped or not using AIS. SEASEARCH involves the futher development and operational testing of a passive mobile phone handset signal detection technology for use in maritime safety, security & defence applications. SEASEARCH is building innovative sensors that are able to enhance a Maritime Situation Awareness Picture based on a detection of mobile phone handset signals carried by persons at sea, allowing SEASEARCH to track small vesselsor vessels with AIS transponders that are turned-off or otherwise non-functional. |
