Convergences in Maritime Domain Awareness

Commercial-In-Confidence

MDA trend is toward multiple use and increased integration

Expansion of AIS useo National systemso Sharing of datao Virtual navigationo Application use of binary

channels

Increased volume of informationo Integrated systemso SmALL vessel trackingo Additional sensorso Data sharing

Legal and policy changes o Maritime “borders”o Increasing offshore economic

focuso Maritime prosecution

44 Countries to Date are sharing AIS data openly via MSSIS.

MDA Convergence

Commercial-In-Confidence

MDA C2 Overview

• Specialised sensor pre-processing

• Data fusion and track management

• “Rhythm of life” analysis to underpin:• Development of Rules

Engine• Establishment of

electronic gates and fences (both spatial and temporal)

• Common operating picture

Hormuz Strait Dubai

Abu Dhabi

Sydney, Aus

Port/ Coastal Convergence

• VTMS (cooperative tracks), security system (include non-cooperative tracks) essentially interested in same tracks

• Convergence (and data exchange) will provide mutual benefit

• Can combine environmental monitoring into the port/coastal mix

Commercial-In-Confidence

Waterside/Landside Integration

• Systems need to address both surveillance (reduce likelihood of incident) and response

• Port incident will require land response

• Will require incident response system (such as ERIS)

• Need to integrate waterside into the landside component

• Needs to be GIS based• Ship can be considered as

mobile building in port for incident response

• Can be achieved through CVNC

Conclusion

Future Systems need to be Multi-dimensional

o Securityo Safetyo Environmento Economics

Interoperableo between systems,o agencies and o governments

Scalable o Facilitieso Ports and harbor areaso Coastlineso National borders
