AIS ↔ SAR Correlation

Spot vessels that switch off their AIS by matching radar signatures from Sentinel-1.

Cross-references live AIS broadcasts with Sentinel-1 SAR detections over the same time-window. Vessels visible on radar but absent from AIS are surfaced as candidate dark-fleet contacts with confidence scoring.

Inputs
  • AIS feed
  • Sentinel-1 SAR acquisitions
  • Bounding-box query
Outputs
  • Unmatched SAR contacts
  • Confidence score per contact
  • Re-acquisition hints

STS Transfer Detection

Flag ship-to-ship transfers happening outside designated anchorages — the #1 sanction-evasion vector.

Continuously scans vessel-pair proximity, relative speed and dwell-time outside designated anchorage zones. Triggers an STS event when two AIS tracks rendezvous at sea, with draft-mismatch and cargo-class context.

Inputs
  • AIS positions
  • Designated anchorage polygons
  • Vessel cargo class
Outputs
  • STS event ledger
  • Vessel-pair dossiers
  • Draft-mismatch flags

Dark-Fleet Flagging

Continuously score every vessel for shadow-fleet behaviour and surface the riskiest hulls.

Composite risk score combining AIS gaps, flag-hopping cadence, ownership obfuscation, sanction proximity and STS history. Each component is auditable and traceable to its source.

Inputs
  • AIS history
  • Flag-change log
  • Ownership chain
  • Sanctions overlay
Outputs
  • Composite risk score (0–100)
  • Sub-score breakdown
  • Time-series volatility chart

Chokepoint Intelligence

Live transit watch on Hormuz, Bab-el-Mandeb, Malacca, Suez and Panama.

Aggregates vessel transits through each chokepoint with cargo class, flag distribution and sanctioned-hull share. Anomaly alerts when transit volume or composition deviates from a 28-day baseline.

Inputs
  • AIS feed
  • Chokepoint polygons
  • Cargo class taxonomy
Outputs
  • Hourly transit ledger
  • Anomaly alerts
  • Flag/Cargo break-downs

Sanctions Screening (7 regimes)

Cross-check every vessel, aircraft, person and company against OFAC, EU, UK, UN, Swiss, Canadian and Australian lists daily.

Daily refresh of all 7 sanctions regimes via OpenSanctions + direct authoritative pulls. Fuzzy-match on MMSI, IMO, name, AKA and ownership chain. Every hit is sourced to the original list and entry date.

Inputs
  • Identifier (MMSI/IMO/name/UBO/etc.)
Outputs
  • Hit list with regime + entry date
  • Source URL
  • Aliases matched

Aerial

3 capabilities

Military Flight Tracking

Track military aircraft including blocked tail numbers — using uncensored ADS-B feeds.

Ingests uncensored ADS-B Exchange data plus OpenSky academic feed. Military hex-codes (NATO, RU, IL, etc.) are classified by ICAO 24-bit, callsign convention and known operator base. Patterns of training, deployment and ferry flights are baselined.

Inputs

  • Anomaly events vs baseline

Private-Jet Pattern of Life

Inputs
  • Tail number / ICAO hex
  • Window
Outputs
  • Baseline footprint
  • Anomaly events
  • Operator network graph

ADS-B Blackout Detection

Catch the moments aircraft go dark — across routes, time-windows and operators.

Detects ADS-B transponder dropouts inconsistent with terrain, altitude or operator profile. Cross-references with traffic-control planned routes when available to separate maintenance noise from intentional dark legs.

Inputs
  • ADS-B raw track
  • Planned route
Outputs
