ABSTRACT
Abstract title: The impact of Artificial Intelligence in Maritime Awareness – across commerce and government
AUTHOR
The maritime environment creates many challenges for those who wish to regulate, finance, operate, secure and assist its actors. Sensors such as radar, optical and thermal imagery, vessel transponders, radio-spectrum analysis all provide unique signals for activity, and data from coastal, at-sea, aerial and satellite platforms the rise is data can be overwhelming.
Pioneering AI enables the automatic extraction of data, directs sensors, and then fuses that data to create smart information around maritime activity. Real-time analysis, triggered with pattern-of-life learnings, enable stakeholders to see the right data at the right time to take the right action.
