Beyond AIS: Building a More Complete Maritime Picture
Radar, AIS, cameras and vessel behaviour can give security teams better evidence and more time to respond.

Know what's happening. Know how to respond.
We design and integrate security across land, sea and air. We bring detection, surveillance and access control into one operating picture, so your team can assess an event and coordinate the response.
THE PROBLEM
Eleven screens, eleven truths.
Your cameras, radar and access control may each do their job. The difficult part is joining the events together. A fence alarm appears on one screen, a camera view on another, and the operator has to work out whether they are connected. Adding another patrol leaves that gap in place.
THE LAYERS
More time to assess. More time to respond.
Start with the asset. Detect activity at the perimeter, extend awareness across land and sea, and monitor the airspace above. Bring those feeds together so the operator can verify the event and coordinate a response.
THE METHOD
Every asset. One method.
One team accountable for the design, integration and handover.
INDUSTRIES
Designed around the site and its risks.
A port, a data centre and a private estate need different protection. Explore how the layers adapt to your sector.
Offshore Energy
Petro-piracy, incursions and drones over waters you mostly can't see.
Onshore Energy
Pipeline sabotage and armed incursion across sites that grew piecemeal.
Nuclear
Defence-in-depth your regulator can audit, line by line.
Data Centres
Tailgating, insiders and drones over a campus that can't go down.
Commercial Shipping
Piracy and boarding, with help hours over the horizon.
Offshore Installations & Islands
An asset alone on the water, a protective bubble around it.
Private Estates
Discreet protection designed around the home.
High-Threat Operations
Protecting people and operations where support may be hours away.
OUTCOMES
A phased plan to reduce reliance on patrol vessels.
An offshore operator relied on patrol vessels and disconnected sensors to monitor its waters. We assessed the gaps and designed a layered system combining maritime radar, platform surveillance and access control. The deliverable was a costed, phased roadmap showing how the operator could extend coverage and reduce its reliance on patrol vessels as each stage was commissioned.
OWNERSHIP
Your team should understand the system, control access to it and know how it will be supported. Ownership, access and handover need to be part of the design from the start.
INSIGHTS
The economics of security.
What security costs, where systems fall short, and how to make better decisions. Field experience and worked examples from the people who design and deliver them.
Land
A padlock and a duty roster beat the security system
The useful test of a barrier is the time it buys. A modelled case shows why delay and response have to be designed together.

Start with a conversation.
Tell us what you need to protect and where the current approach falls short. In a scoping call with our Director, we'll discuss the risks, the existing systems and whether a site assessment would be useful.
