Problem
Maritime operations face significant visibility gaps due to the prevalence of AIS-dark vessels and incomplete radar data. This lack of comprehensive situational awareness hinders effective maritime safety, security, and environmental monitoring.
Solution
Kahu provides real-time ocean activity intelligence by fusing crowdsourced vessel radar data with traditional vessel tracking systems. This integrated approach creates a unified data layer that enhances maritime domain awareness. By validating Automatic Identification System (AIS) data and filling associated gaps, Kahu offers a more complete picture of maritime traffic. The platform specifically addresses the challenge of identifying vessels that do not transmit AIS signals, thereby improving operational de-risking and establishing a reliable source of truth for maritime activities.
Target Audience
Kahu serves maritime operators, security agencies, and environmental monitoring organizations that require enhanced visibility and intelligence regarding vessel activity.
Features
- Fusion of crowdsourced radar data with vessel tracking systems for comprehensive maritime intelligence.
- Real-time and historical visualization of detected vessel tracks.
- Validation of AIS data and identification of gaps in existing AIS transmissions.
- Specialized capabilities for tracking and identifying AIS-dark vessels.
- Enhanced maritime safety and security through improved situational awareness.
