Satellite Constellation

• 6 satellite polar orbiting + 1 equatorial constellation • Currently 5 satellites in service • 2014: Full deployment(7 sats) • Provides rapid update rate at

higher latitudes • Satellite to be launched to

cover the equatorial band

• Provides full global coverage with rapid update rate • Now: 8-12 reports per day • 2014: 20-30 reports per day

Automatic Identification System (AIS)

Operational Service

Currently processing 5,000,000 messages per day from over 100,000 ships

And we’ve been doing this for over 3 years!!!

……….. That’s a lot of data (0.5 billion

AIS messages) ………..

And a huge amount of important information!

(>300 million vessel positions)

Anti-Piracy Applications

MT Motivator

S-AIS is an important tool in fighting the war against piracy • Wide area vessel traffic monitoring to protect commercial shipping • NATO (Northwood, UK) is the lead center for coordinating the

EU’s activities for Anti Piracy Operations and uses the exactAIS data service

AIS Data Stream

• In this example we see Esri GeoEvent Processor populating an area of the Ocean with ship positions

and information as the data is streamed from exactEarth. The filter being used here is a simple area

filter.

AIS Data Alerting

• In this example the service is started with a set of ships stored as a ‘watch list’. Esri GeoEvent Processor analyses

the stream and alerts the user when a new position report is received for a ship on the ‘watch list’. In this case the

Cosco Boston triggers the alert.

AIS Data Tracking

• Here again we track the Cosco Boston. In this case we are only interested in position reports from this one ship

from the streaming feed and we use this to provide a ‘live’ picture of its progress off the West Coast of the US after

passing through the Panama Canal. For illustration purposes the data feed is accelerated in this example.

“One day said Galileo a man will reach the sky

and see the world completely from outside.

And gazing down from yonder on a world of blue and green, he’ll say with eyes of wonder

I have seen. I have seen. My eyes have seen”
