Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) consists of persistent wide area surveillance, detecting and analysing threats to enable effective response. Data from manned aircraft or Unmanned Air System (UAS) missions are a prime source of MDA intelligence.
Key issues for UAS operators include effective wide area surveillance and early detection of small targets against difficult sea conditions such as white caps and sun glare. Kestrel Maritime provides a comprehensive solution for wide area surveillance, detecting small targets in real-time from full motion video.
Kestrel significantly enhances the effectiveness of maritime domain awareness missions.
